RollDock Shipping, part of the Roll Group, has confirmed the purchase of its seventh vessel, the RollDock Sky. This is the third semi-submersible multipurpose heavylift vessel bought from Larsen & Toubro India. It will go directly into service after some upgrades.

After RollDock and L&T ended their cooperation in 2013, L&T continued building a third semi-submersible multipurpose heavylift vessel, something management at RollDock eventually decided was worth purchasing. The ship is a sister vessel to RollDock Sun and RollDock Sea.

RollDock has two more vessels under construction.
