On 23rd August last year, Swire Pacific Offshore ("SPO") held a naming ceremony for the latest addition to its fleet at Loyang Offshore Supply Base in Singapore. Pacific Grebe is the sixth of ten Platform Supply Vessels in the "G" Class series built by Japan Marine United Corporation; the name "grebe" comes from a species of freshwater diving birds. Attended by over 50 guests, the ceremony was graced by Lady Sponsor, Mrs Elisabeth Mathison, who is the wife of SPO's Managing Director, Ron Mathison.
