Vard Marine is pleased to announce the VARD 1 311 design was awarded Ship of the Year at the 2015 International Workboat Show last week. The vessel, named ‘Harvey Energy’ is the first of six ships to be delivered to Harvey Gulf International Marine and was the first ever delivered in North America capable of operating on diesel fuel and liquefied natural gas (LNG). The ABS class vessel has an overall length of 302’, beam of 64’ and a design draft of 20’-4” that results in a deadweight capacity of 5300LT. With the ability to carrying almost 300m3 (77,920 USG) of LNG, this permits full operational capability for one week on gas fuel.
