Atlantic Offshore, together with Statoil, have decided to convert the Ocean Response tug/supply vessel to act as full oil recovery and oil spill vessel within the NOFO 2009 regulations.
The vessel will then have more flexibility to serve as an emergency and response vessel, Atlantic said.
The modification will be done at Hellesøy Verft.
