The initial contract had a three-year fixed period with options to extend by up to two years.

The vessel replaced the Dina Star with some overlapping period in Q1 2018. This allowed the Polar Onyx to continue working with Tullow Ghana to provide inspection and light well intervention services on Tullow’s Jubilee and TEN fields until March 2021.
