Leevac Shipyards Jennings launched the Ram Nation on Tuesday, March 18. The 270' Leevac-designed PSV is the first vessel of Aries Marine's new series of 4,000 DWT PSVs. The Ram Nation is a diesel-electric, DPS-2, FI FI 1 Platform Supply Vessel that will be certified for worldwide operations. It is the first of four LDS-designed vessels currently under construction, said Chris Vaccari, owner and CEO of Leevac.

"We look forward to commissioning the Ram Nation later this year and placing her on charter with a valued customer," said Court Ramsey, president and CEO for Aries Marine Corporation.

The Ram Nation is scheduled to be delivered during the third quarter of this year.
