N-Sea, DOF Subsea join forces for SAT diving services

Subsea IMR provider, N-Sea, and subsea projects and engineering provider, DOF Subsea, have entered into a two-year cooperation agreement to provide an Integrated Saturation (SAT) Dive Service.

According to a press release on Tuesday, the cooperation agreement reflects both companies’ decision to increase their overall service offering through saturation diving across Europe, Africa, and Mediterranean.

The principles of the agreement are set out with DOF Subsea providing the Dive Support Vessel, Skandi Achiever, whilst N-Sea will provide saturation diving resources. Project Management, Engineering and Diving Manual/Procedures will be provided through an integrated team, N-Sea said.

N-Sea chief operating officer Roddy James said: “The MOU allows both N-Sea and DOF Subsea to offer an integrated – and highly efficient – SAT diving service to our client; something we regard as particularly important in the context of current market conditions.”

Commenting on the agreement, Robert Gillespie, managing director of DOF Subsea UK Ltd Services said: “We are very excited to work with our partner N-Sea. Teaming up with N-Sea to provide an Integrated Diving Solution will enable us to provide yet another service offering from one of our high specification vessels, namely the Skandi Achiever.”
