UK owner Bibby Marine Services has ordered a new floating accommodation vessel for offshore work off Germany.

Damen Shipyards' Galati yard in Romania will build the 6,200-gt vessel for delivery in August, 2018, Clarksons said.

It will house 60 people.

The ship has been chartered by Siemens Gamesa for work on wind turbines at the Hohe See and Albatros projects in the German North Sea.
