GloMar Shipmanagement B.V. has purchased Fugro Commander, a Dynamically Positioned (DP) shallow draft geotechnical vessel.
The vessel will be renamed Glomar Vantage, and will perform Diving and ROV operations for GloMar Subsea division.
According to GloMar, it will be converted into a DSV with an on board Seaeye Tiger ROV and two diving LARS systems.
GloMar Shipmanagement CCO, Mark van der Star, said: “ The Glomar Vantage is a good fit in our fleet to expand our Subsea Diving and ROV services all over the world. We are in discussion with Fugro to mutually offer the vessel back to the market as Geotechnical vessel. Furthermore we will actively promote her in the renewable and Oil & Gas industry. We strive to exceed our services to provide more value, based on today’s principle of supply and demand.”
The Glomar Vantage has a length of 57 meters and a beam of 12 meters. The vessel has a summer draught of 3.5 meters, which makes it capable for shallow water operations.
