Jumbo Shipping confirmed the order for a second new K-class vessel, with an option on a third.

The K-class vessels are being built at the Brodosplit Shipyard in Split, Croatia. The design incorporates Finnish-Swedish ice class 1A and each vessel will be prepared for diesel-electric propulsion, redundancy, dynamic positioning system installation, which will provide multi-facet installation support in the offshore sector, enabling large and heavy structures to be loaded, transported and installed by a single vessel.

The first vessel will be in active service in autumn 2013. The sister-ship will follow some six months later.
