The Express on Her Sunny Days

The pipelay market is at an all-time high demand.
In the Asia Pacific region alone, a few new pipelay vessels are waiting to capture any new pipeline project. Especially the highly capable ZPMC #JSD6000 S- and J-lay vessel, Shanghai Salvage Bureau COES #Shenda (深达号) Flex- and Reel-Lay vessel.

Can #Express put up some good competition to fill the gap of laying smaller OD pipes up to 14in❓ This fast #ReelLay vessel can easily beat a competitive price on a flexible flowline package.

However, will she be ready for the pipeline market upswing❓
The critical question here is, who is the new owner of Express❓

She has a pretty economical day rate for laying pipes, especially manning herself with South-East Asian offshore crews. What she needs now is to have a nearby economical spoolbase too.

Is she still present in Singapore❓
