PGS has earlier disclosed that it is fully booked for seven vessels in 4Q 2019.

According to its statement on Friday, PGS has now committed to a MultiClient program in West Africa for the eighth active vessel. The program is expected to last more than 100 days and has strong industry funding.

As a consequence, PGS will operate all eight active vessels also over the winter period and Sanco Swift has started transit from Norway to West Africa.

“PGS experiences a significant increase of project activity compared to the same period last year and indications of emerging supply side constraints even over the winter season, which in recent years have had a seasonally lower activity level,” the company concluded.
