The UT-Design history

The future


The first UT-Design

The very first UT-Design ship was the Stad Scotsman. 30 years later, this ship is still one of the offshore industry's tireless workhorses. She was subsequently refitted as an anchor-handling vessel and now sails under the name Seabulk Condor.

Seabulk Condor is currently in operation off the coast of Cameroon in West Africa. The ship is under contract to Phillips Petroleum and operates in conjunction with the jack-up drilling rig Glomar Adriatic 6.

For the first UT-Design ship, the journey from the shipyard in Ulsteinvik to the coast of Cameroon has been filled with adventure and several refittings. The majority of UT 704s have had three owners and have changed their names as many times. Many of the ships have also exchanged the chill of the North Sea for warmer waters. The Seabulk Condor is no exception.
