Solstad Offshore’s first contract extension is for the 2006-built AHTS Normand Turmalina with Brava Energia in Brazil. This three-year extension is expected to start immediately after the current contract, ensuring a firm commitment until early 2029.

The Norwegian vessel owner’s second contract extension is with Ocean Infinity, which confirmed its option for the 2017-built CSV Normand Superior, extending the current agreement by one year to February 2027.

These two extensions, which have a combined value of approximately $65 million, come shortly after Solstad Offshore and Solstad Maritime inked a multi-year framework agreement with Port Vantage for support and services across multiple locations.
