“Our building team has engineered a perfectly timed Subsea construction vessel. Ultra Deep Solutions goal is to build up to 25 Subsea construction vessels by 2018-2019. The downturn in the market has given us the opportunity to look for greater pricing to create a new opportunity for us. I am thankful to our partners, and supporters, especially MT, DNV, FTE and Wu Chang who have supported the company's vision, and realizing our plans to build these vessels. Ultra Deep is expanding and heading in the right direction, we are one step closer to our goal.” says Shel Hutton, Chief Executive Officer of UDS.
