By GlobalDataThe ship will be equipped with modern solutions for fire and emergency preparedness amd will be able to relieve oil platforms by offering cargo or storage capacity.
Upon delivery the vessel will be chartered to oil company Total for four years, with an option of another four years starting from 2014.
The vessel will operate in the Martin Linge gas field, northwest of Stavanger, Norway.
This is the second charter contract Atlantic Offshore has signed with Total in the North Sea and the first in the Norwegian sector.
Atlantic Offshore CEO Roy Wareberg said the contract has strengthened the company’s position in the emergency segment in the North Sea.
"Last week the company signed two contracts with Statoil, which means that the company operates an additional two PSVs (platform supply vessel) in the North Sea from 2014."
Atlantic Offshore, which is located at Sotra outside Bergen, Norway, has a fleet of 22 vessels and has previously worked with the Havyard Group.
