Singapore-based offshore energy services provider PACC Offshore Services Holdings (“POSH”) has agreed to buy the 119-meter long, DP-3 offshore construction vessel ‘BOA Deep C’ from Norway's BOA OCV AS. The vessel will be renamed ‘POSH Deep C’ and will join the POSH fleet in October 2022.
POSH said the addition of the multipurpose Offshore Construction Vessel (“OCV”), built in 2003, was part of its strategy to increase its service offerings. The financial details were not disclosed.
"The OCV’s versatility will complement the existing fleet with capabilities including subsea installation works and turnkey towage and installation services for the floating offshore wind and energy sector," POSH said.
POSH Deep C is capable of executing the installation of deepwater floaters, such as FPSOs, mooring installation and removal, installation of offshore floating wind structures and mooring systems, and Subsea Umbilical, Riser, and Flowlines (“SURF”) installation works.
