Technip Charters Polar Onyx for Angola Work

Norwegian offshore vessels provider, GC Rieber Shipping, has reached a time charter agreement with Technip Angola for the vessel Polar Onyx.

The 130-meter flexible piplay and subsea construction vessel will be engaged in a SURF and construction campaign offshore Angola.

According to GC Rieber, the charter starts immediately and will last for up to two months. The charter is in direct continuation from the previous charter in UK sector with James Fisher Marine Services.

“This is an interesting contract for us where the operational capabilities of the vessel and her equipment get fully utilized. Technip’s strong presence in West Africa makes the contract strategically important to us, and we look forward to cooperating with them also in this region”, says CEO Irene Waage Basili.

The Oslo-listed company did not disclose the value of the new deal.
