On 26 June 2023, two Ulstein-designed vessels of the proven ULSTEIN PX121 design, built at ROC China, were successfully delivered to their new owner. The sister ships have been named Larga and Aprion, respectively. The delivery of these two vessels marks the successful completion of all 18 PX121 ships built in China.
The two PX121 vessels at ROC were contracted in 2013 for the ITG Group, with Ulstein providing design and equipment packages for the project. The ships were constructed to European standards, but their delivery was impacted due to challenging market conditions. Throughout this period, the shipyard, owner, and Ulstein have worked closely together to maintain the vessels' performance and promote them in the international market. Ulstein Electrical Technology in Ningbo has also provided restart services to prepare the ships for delivery.
