Upon the completion of the ROV and Survey spread mobilization, the Ross Candies is committed to undertake some light construction and IMR projects for different clients, as a replacement vessel for the Harvey Deep-Sea which is now committed for the next 5 months.
In addition, DOF Subsea Survey and Positioning has been awarded a Master Service Agreement extension of 2 years with Seaway Heavy Lifting for the provision of positioning services onboard its Stanislav Yudin and Oleg Strashnov crane vessels.
