N-Sea has added to its fleet with the long-term charter of a vessel from Norwegian shipping contractor Siem Offshore.
N-Sea, a Dutch firm with offices in Aberdeen, said the Siem Barracuda would add to its subsea inspection, maintenance and repair capabilities.
The vessel has a crane and room for 110 people.
Roddy James, chief operating officer at N-Sea, said: “The Siem Barracuda has added another highly efficient dive support and survey vessel to the N-Sea fleet.
“Its technical specifications not only increase our capabilities across the subsea IRM field, but also build upon the safe, efficient ethos for which N-Sea is renowned.
“This is a state-of-the-art subsea vessel, which increases our ability to operate within greater parameters of harsh weather.
“Additional bed space, a large active heave compensation crane and the option for simultaneous moonpool deployment of ROVs and air nitrox diving, all illustrate N-Sea’s capacity for safe, sound and swift operability within oil and gas and renewables markets. This is further reinforced by the addition of a permanent air nitrox daughter craft.”
