Total hires AHTS Skandi Pacific

DOF ASA, an international group of companies which owns and operates a fleet of offshore/subsea vessels, has been awarded a contract with Total Austral in Argentina for the vessel Skandi Pacific.

According to DOF, the contract has a duration of 9 months plus three one-month options. The start up of the contract is expected in early September.

The Skandi Pacific is an anchor handling tug supply vessel built in 2011 and designed for field installation operations across a wide range of water depths and environmental conditions. The vessel can accommodate 27 persons.

To remind, in July 2015, a fatal accident occurred on board the Skandi Pacific, offshore Australia. Namely, one crew member was crushed between a moving mini-container and a cargo skip while trying to secure cargo.
