Norwegian shipping company DOF Group has been awarded contracts for two vessels for work in the Mediterranean.
In its Oslo Stock Exchange filing on Friday, DOF said that the contracts awarded were for the provision of the multipurpose support vessel (MSV) Skandi Skansen and the platform supply vessel (PSV) Skandi Caledonia.
The contracts will start in the fourth quarter and secure utilization of 90 days plus options for the Skandi Skansen and 300 days plus options for the Skandi Caledonia.
The 2011-built Skandi Skansen is a new generation high powered anchor handling vessel designed for field installation operations across a wide range of water depths and environmental conditions. Skandi Skansen is also classified as a CSV as the vessel is also equipped to carry out construction support activities.
The 2003-built Skandi Caledonia is of an MT 6000 design. It is used to transport materials, supplies and personnel to and from offshore drilling rigs and platforms.
