To remind, Aker BP entered into a three-year frame agreement in March 2019 with Solstad Offshore, Simon Møkster Shipping, and Eidesvik Offshore for the supply of PSVs.

The latest contract for this vessel – with a firm duration of 15 months – is scheduled to start during the fourth quarter of 2022.

The 2011-built PSV Normand Arctic is also one of the vessels which were hired last month for operations in the UK and Norway scheduled for the second and third quarters of 2022.
