The UT722 LX might be the ultimate iteration of the UT722, although after the two ships built for Havila were launched no further ships of the type have been constructed. This is even though they appear to be well equipped for deep water and complex mooring tasks. Because of the space taken up by the wire and rope storage they have slightly limited deck space, which might have made them less popular.
