Island Challenger will complete her present charter with Statoil Petroleum AS in September 2013, where she has been a part of Statoil’s PSV pool since she delivered from the yard in 2007.
“Island Offshore (IO) is therefore pleased that the MV Island Challenger has been entrusted with a 5 years firm charter by Talisman Energy Norge AS,” the company said in a press release.
The contract will commence in November 2013 after a short upgrade of the vessel in direct continuation of the present charter.
“This will be the first term contract between Island Offshore and Talisman, and look forward the cooperation with Talisman. We are confident that the vessel and her experienced crew will contribute in a safe and efficient operation,” said Island Offshore in a statement.
