From luxurious ferry to offshore support vessel

摘要

For the second time in the 2013 season Chevalier Floatels have delivered an offshore vessel for service support operations. On 8 August 2013, after just 19 weeks of work, the DP Galyna was handed over by Holland Shipyards to Chevalier Floatels in Hardinxveld-Giessendam on the Merwede River, the Netherlands. The vessel was named by Galyna Matviiva, the Ukrainian girlfriend of Chevalier Floatels' owner and general manager Marcel Roelofs, and she was also the inspiration for the name DP Galyna. Shortly after the naming ceremony, the offshore support vessel departed to England to fulfil a long-term charter contract with Siemens for the maintenance of windmills in the 500 MW Greater Gabbard wind farm in the North Sea.
