Rodi Marine Secures Two FSVs with Swiftships

Rodi Marine Service has signed a contract with Swiftships, LLC, to build two additional 175 Foot DP-2 Fast Supply Vessels (FSVs) in support of its continued expansion into the oil and gas industry. The two additional vessels will be an extension of the two-boat order made by Rodi Marine in 2013. 

Earlier this year Swiftships delivered Rodi Marine's first new build; a 175 Ft DP-2 FSV dubbed the Riley Claire. The Riley Claire was part of a two-boat order in which the second vessel is scheduled to be delivered by January 2015. The four FSVs will add to Rodi's existing fleet, providing expanded capabilities in deep water operations. The two new vessels are scheduled to be ready for operation by early to mid 2016.

Swiftships' 175 Foot FSV is an all welded aluminum vessel built in accordance with A.B.S. regulations. This vessel is designed to transport personnel and supplies to and from offshore facilities. Its lightweight aluminum superstructure coupled with Swiftships' proprietary design allows for high-speed performance and delivery capabilities.
