Supply vessel launched

GULFPORT, Miss. -- Gulf Coast Shipyard Group Inc. announced the launch of the first of six Harvey Gulf International Marine dual-fuel offshore supply vessels. Incorporating clean-burning LNG technology, these vessels position Harvey Gulf as a leader in the environmental application of liquefied natural gas, the company said in a news release. The first of these GCSG-built Harvey Gulf OSVs will be moved to GCSG’s newly commissioned space at the Port of Gulfport in mid-March for final completion and testing. The vessel will be christened and put into service a few months later. (Source: Mississippi Press, 01/22/14)
