Zamil Offshore has placed an order for a fourth 60-metre ABS-Classed monohull Fast Support Intervention Vessel, commissioning IncatCrowther to supply the design and Lita Ocean to carry out construction and delivery, MarineLink Maritime News reported on 16 October 2026.
The contract was described by MarineLink as a joint assignment in which IncatCrowther, identified in the report as a global digital shipbuilder, will provide the vessel design while Singaporean shipbuilder Lita Ocean will build and deliver the unit to Zamil Offshore, which the report describes as an offshore energy services provider.
The vessel is specified in the report as a 60-metre monohull that will be ABS-Classed. MarineLink’s item uses the designation Fast Support Intervention Vessel and abbreviates it as FSIV.
This order is the fourth of its kind for Zamil Offshore, the report states, signalling a continuation of a series rather than a one-off procurement. MarineLink provides the details of the commissioning in its 16 October 2026 item.
Taken together, the published notice highlights three named organisations: the owner and client, Zamil Offshore; the design house, IncatCrowther; and the builder, Lita Ocean. The MarineLink report supplied those principal facts without adding further technical particulars.
Roles and responsibilities
According to the report, IncatCrowther will carry responsibility for the design package, and Lita Ocean will assume build and delivery duties. MarineLink’s coverage frames the arrangement as a collaboration that pairs a digital design specialist with a Southeast Asian shipyard.
Classification and designation
The report specifies the vessel will be classed by ABS and described as a monohull FSIV measuring 60 metres. MarineLink’s notice uses the term ABS-Classed as part of the vessel description on 16 October 2026.
The announcement, as presented in MarineLink’s report, contains the essential contract elements: the commissioning party, the design and building partners, and the basic class and length of the vessel. No delivery date, schedule or further technical data were supplied in the published item.
Operators, yards and design houses are commonly reticent to publish detailed technical data at the time of contract announcement; MarineLink’s report is limited to naming the contracting parties and the primary specification point of a 60-metre ABS-Classed monohull FSIV.
For Zamil Offshore the contract represents a further acquisition of the same vessel type, as MarineLink notes that the unit will be the fourth in this series. The company, IncatCrowther and Lita Ocean were each identified by name in the 16 October 2026 report.
The contracted partnership pairs a firm described as a global digital shipbuilder with a regional shipyard in Singapore to deliver an ABS-Classed vessel for an offshore energy services provider, according to MarineLink’s published item on 16 October 2026.
