Oil and gas company Lundin Norway has chartered the Siem Simphony platform supply vessel from Siem Offshore.
The dual-fuelled platform supplier "Siem Symphony" will support Lundin Norway's 10-well drilling campaign on the Norwegian
Continental Shelf.
The firm contract is estimated up to 600 days plus options and the vessel is expected to start operation during the second quarter of 2020.
Earlier this week, Lundin also struck long-term charter deals with another Norwegian vessel owner, Island Offshore, for three platform supply vessels.
Two LNG-fuelled PSVs Island Crusader and Island Contender have been awarded contracts for a period of 600 days and 400 days respectively, while Island Commander has scored a three-year deal. Lundin will have options to extend contracts for all three platform suppliers.
Island Crusader will be supporting the semi-submersible rig West Bollsta for ten wells, while Island Contender will be supporting the rig Rowan Viking drilling seven wells. Island Commander will continue supporting the drilling activity at Edvard Grieg as she does today.
