Ship history
The first name of the vessel was 'Neptune Despina', Yno ZJ2011 at the Zhejiang yard, China. She was delivered on 27 October 2011 to Neptune Offshore.
She is the sister vessel to 'Larissa' (original name 'Neptune Larissa'), both are IMR vessels of the ULSTEIN SX130 design. The vessels were named in a joint ceremony on 26 October 2011. At the time of delivery, Reef Subsea announced their signing of two five-year charter agreements for the two vessels. The vessels, therefore, changed names to 'Reef Larissa' and ?Reef Despina?.
ULSTEIN has supplied design, detail documentation and main equipment for these vessels, including products such as main switchboards, bridge and control room consoles, ULSTEIN IAS® (integrated alarm and surveillance system), ULSTEIN COM® and navigation equipment and ULSTEIN PMS (power management system).
The X-BOW®, combined with a diesel-electric propulsion system, ensures excellent performances with regards to fuel consumption, sea-keeping and speed.
