DOF said on Thursday that the contract with a ‘major operator’ was for decommissioning of subsea infrastructure in the third quarter of 2019.

According to the company, the works will be undertaken by the Skandi Skansen vessel together with DOF-owned AHTS vessels.

DOF added that this was the second award with the same operator in as many months in the decommissioning segment.

The 2011-built Skandi Skansen has also recently been awarded a contract for mooring installation on the Njord Future project by Equinor.

Earlier this year, DOF also won contracts in the UK and Norway for UXO investigation/detonation, Seabed Mapping, Pipeline and Structural Inspection and Seabed rectification support using the Skandi Skansen, Geosund, and Skandi Hera vessels.
