Keel laying second SOV for DFO

Saturday, September 27 2025

General – Newbuilding

Earlier this week, Vard Vung Tau hosted the keel laying ceremony for hull 989, the second Service Operation Vessel (SOV) designed and constructed by VARD for Dong Fang Offshore (DFO).

A highlight of the day was the lucky coin laying ritual – a cherished maritime tradition symbolizing good fortune and safe journeys for the vessel and its crew.
