While announcing a new contract award and an extension of existing agreement, DOF revealed the award of a limited contract for the 2011-built AH Skandi Skansen in the North Sea.

With a value below $15 million, the new contract will enable the firm to provide vessel and remotely operated vehicle (ROV) services for a duration of 30 days with planned start-up in Q2 2026.

Meanwhile, a six-month option has been declared for the 2012-built PSV Skandi Kvitsøy by its current client in Australia. As a result, the contract is now firm until September 2026 with further options until Q1 2028.

This comes shortly after DOF won a deal with MODEC for a floating production, storage, and offloading (FPSO) destined for ExxonMobil’s oil project offshore Guyana.
