GC Rieber Shipping ASA has secured a charter time deal with Technip Angola for its SURF vessel, Polar Onyx.
The two-month deal includes the vessel conducting SURF and construction duties in Angola.
“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”, said chief executive Irene Waage Basili.
The contract win for the Polar Onyx comes immediately after it carried out SURF work in the UK North Sea.
GC Rieber Shipping currently operates 13 advanced special purpose vessels for defined markets within the subsea, ice support and marine seismic segments, of which the company owns 11.
