Bibby Maritime has secured a new charter for floating accommodation vessel ‘Bibby Bergen’, starting 15th October 2014.
The vessel is moving to support Bergen Group Hanøytangen AS, who have been awarded a contract from Dolphin Drilling AS for an upgrade and five-year class renewal survey on the semi-submersible production and exploration rig ‘ Borgland Dolphin ’.
Having undergone a recent modernisation, Bibby Bergen can accommodate 180 guests in single en suite bedrooms and offers a range of public facilities over two decks.
With modern furnishings and entertainment spaces including lounges and games rooms, Bibby Bergen has helped projects of all shapes and sizes offer a comfortable home to their workers, Bibby Maritime has said.
“Bibby Bergen has always worked well in Norway with a great track record of successful charters in a number of locations, and we’re very happy to be working with Bergen Group on this project,” said Carl McLaughlin , Commercial Manager at Bibby Maritime.
The charter will see Bibby Bergen located in their yard near Bergen, Norway, until 31st December 2014, with a number of options to extend should Bergen Group Hanøytangen AS’s requirements continue.
