Rem Ocean begins its journey to Norway after completing its hull in Vietnam
The delivery of the Rem Ocean hull marks the beginning of a new phase for one of Rem Offshore's most significant projects. Following the completion of structural work in Vietnam, the vessel is now sailing to Norway, where it will receive the systems and equipment necessary for offshore operations.
The construction of the hull is completed in Vietnam.
Rem Offshore initially confirmed the delivery of the Rem Ocean hull on June 15th from the Song Cam shipyard, located in the Hai Phong region. This step concludes one of the most important stages in the shipbuilding process for the project.
The completion of this phase allows us to verify that the main structure of the offshore vessel has been completed according to the established plan. Furthermore, it marks the starting point for the work that will transform the vessel into a fully operational unit.
The Rem Ocean begins its journey to Europe
The towing of the Rem Ocean began on June 17. The vessel left Vietnamese waters to begin a journey that will take it to Norway, with a planned logistical stop in Singapore before continuing on to Europe.
This deployment represents much more than a geographical relocation. The arrival in Norway marks the transition between structural construction and the technological integration phase that will define the ship's final capabilities.
Myklebust Verft will take over the final phase of the project
Once in Norwegian territory, the Rem Ocean will be received at the Myklebust Verft facilities. There, the outfitting work will take place to complete the vessel.
During this phase, the main systems, operating equipment, and technologies necessary to fulfill the planned functions within offshore operations will be installed. The goal is to transform the already completed hull into a vessel prepared to handle demanding tasks in complex maritime environments.
A project aligned with the evolution of the maritime industry
Furthermore, the Rem Ocean is part of the new generation of vessels developed by Rem Offshore. These projects respond to the needs of a maritime industry that demands greater operational efficiency and solutions tailored to the sector's current challenges.
The company seeks to strengthen its operational capacity through a fleet prepared to handle specialized offshore activities. In this context, the addition of the Rem Ocean represents a strategic investment to expand its future capabilities.
International collaboration drives the ship's progress
Furthermore, the project's progress reflects the coordination among the various participants involved in the construction of the offshore vessel . The collaborative work between the Vietnamese shipyard, the project managers, and the industrial partners has allowed them to maintain the planned schedule.
The delivery of the helmet and the start of the journey to Norway demonstrate the sustained progress of an initiative that is now entering one of its most decisive phases.
The next objective will be the final delivery.
Finally, Rem Offshore awaits the arrival of the Rem Ocean in the Sunnmøre region to continue with the scheduled work before the final delivery.
With the main structure now complete and the voyage to Norway underway, the project is moving into its final stage of construction. The coming months will focus on systems installation, testing, and finishing touches that will allow the vessel to enter service within the international maritime industry.

Fortescue and CMB.TECH accelerate the use of green ammonia
Fortescue and CMB.TECH have signed an agreement to incorporate up to 12 bulk carriers equipped to handle ammonia, an initiative aimed at reducing emissions from maritime transport. The fleet will be supplied by Bocimar, CMB.TECH's dry cargo division, and will consist of high-capacity Newcastlemax vessels designed for the international transport of raw materials.
Three of the vessels will arrive equipped with dual-fuel engines capable of using ammonia and will enter service by the end of 2026. The remaining nine will be ready for future retrofitting. According to company estimates, the use of green ammonia across the entire fleet would prevent approximately 250,000 tons of carbon dioxide emissions per year compared to conventional marine fuels.
Shearwater will conduct a seismic study at Mariner
Shearwater Geoservices has been awarded a contract by Adura Operations to conduct a 4D towed-cable seismic survey at the Mariner field, located in the British sector of the North Sea.
