The vessel, built by Vard Vung Tau in Vietnam, arrived at Vard Søviknes for remote system outfitting and payload equipment installation.
According to Ocean Infinity, this first ship is expected to enter service on offshore data acquisition tasks in the coming months.
The first two robotic vessels left Vietnam in November for their maiden voyage, after they were delivered to the marine robotics company.
Vard Electro is equipping the ships with advanced marine electronics for remote operations from its SeaQ product range, while VARD Accommodation is providing an accommodation solution. Seaonics is delivering modular launch and recovery systems for moonpools that can be adapted to various marine operations.

Vard won the contract to design and build the eight highly advanced, 78-meter vessels in November 2020. The delivery of all vessels is expected by the end of this year.
The fuel-efficient, onshore-controlled vessels will initially only use a skeleton crew onboard, and in due course are planned to work with no personnel offshore.
The vessels are prepared for green ammonia as a fuel with fuel cell and battery technology and are designed for an ultra-low carbon footprint.
