Vessel Description

The BALBOA is a Norwegian-flagged Platform Supply Vessel (PSV) built in 2016 at Ulstein Verft, Norway, featuring the distinctive Ulstein X-BOW® inverted bow design, which enhances seakeeping, fuel efficiency, and crew comfort in harsh sea conditions.

Operated by Simon Møkster Shipping AS, the vessel is designed for supply and support services to offshore oil and gas installations, primarily on the Norwegian Continental Shelf and the broader North Sea region.

Equipped with a DP2 dynamic positioning system, the BALBOA is capable of maintaining precise station-keeping without anchoring, making it suitable for operations near sensitive offshore structures, subsea installations, and drilling rigs.

The vessel reflects modern offshore supply vessel design standards, combining operational efficiency with enhanced safety features for operations in challenging North Sea environmental conditions.
