MUTTRAH, Oman -- Topaz Energy and Marine has added an 84-m (275-ft) long Multipurpose Support Vessel (MPSV) to its fleet servicing the offshore oil and gas industry.

The Topaz Commander already has transferred to Vietnam under a contract with ADAMS Offshore Services.

Topaz expects to take delivery of over 10 further new vessels this year, including four Anchor Handling Tug Supply Vessels (AHTSV) custom-built for the Saudi Arabian market.

The company says its younger vessels, providing modern, high-spec tonnage and facilities, better suit safety and efficiency standards required by oil and gas producers and operators. The newer vessels will replace older tonnage in the fleet to bring down its average age profile.
