On October 24th, 2024, we celebrated the keel laying ceremony for the REM Pioneer at Song Cam, Vietnam—a remarkable achievement in our journey of building this pioneering vessel! After the initial steel cutting on 3rd July, we’re thrilled to already see substantial progress 24th October with large blocks now assembled on the slipway. This is quite an achievement!

This milestone reflects the strength of the collaboration between Song Cam Shipyard, SBIC, Myklebust, and our ship design team. The REM representatives were warmly welcomed and given a full tour, gaining insights into the impressive facilities and the exceptional craftsmanship on display. The attention to quality and commitment to industry standards left a strong impression on our team.

With deep appreciation for our partners, REM Offshore looks forward to continued cooperation and progress on this exciting project.

The  Energy Subsea Construction Vessel (ESCV) “Rem Pioneer” will be delivered in 2026 and will be the first of its kind that can perform heavy construction work in both offshore wind and subsea with net zero emissions. The newbuild is ground-breaking and uses a number of solutions where energy consumption is almost halved compared to comparable tonnage in today’s market, as well as meeting future requirements for zero emissions from end to end. The vessel will be equipped with dual-fuel methanol engines in combination with battery packs. All offshore lifting equipment, including the 250 T crane, is electric and regenerates power to the batteries. The working deck is over 1,400 m2, and it is also prepared for the installation of an offshore gangway for use in offshore wind. “Rem Pioneer” accommodates 120 persons.
