State-of-the-art new build self-propelled installation jack-up vessel

This multi-purpose support vessel is specifically designed to meet all the requirements for installation and support services in the deeper water depths of the Southern and Central North Sea (65-70m) for clients in the offshore wind and oil & gas industry. The self-propelled DP2 jack-up Seafox 5 has a crane capacity of 1,200mt and is designed with a jacking system for quick and frequent usage.

Seafox Group, Isle of Man, and Keppel FELS in Singapore entered into a joint venture and construction agreement for the Seafox 5 with delivery scheduled for Q3 2012.
