Norway’s GC Rieber Shipping ASA has entered into a new time charter agreement with Boa Marine Services Inc. (BMSI) for the CSV “Polar Queen” for a fixed period of 3 years.

The new time charter agreement will be a continuation of BMSI’s existing charter for the same vessel and will start April 2015. BMSI has chartered “Polar Queen” since October 2012. Boa Marine Services Inc. is a US subsidiary of the Norwegian owned Boa Group. The charter agreement holds options for up to three years extensions for BMSI.
