Norwegian state-owned giant Equinor has chartered one of Remøy Shipping’s platform supply vessels (PSVs), featuring a hybrid-electric system and shore power, further boosting its efforts aimed at decarbonising its operations and curbing carbon emissions.
Remøy Shipping announced on Wednesday that it had been awarded a new six-month firm charter with additional extension options by Equinor for the PSV Rem Mist .
The PSV has been on successive charters with the Norwegian giant since delivery in 2011 . The vessel owner explains that this charter will start in direct continuation of the current contract, on 6 May 2022.
Based on Remøy Shipping’s statement, the PSV Rem Mist is a large and modern PSV with a hybrid-electric system , shore power , and polar code certification . This PSV is one of three vessels built according to Equinor’s specifications. The company highlights that all three – Rem Hrist , Rem Mist , and Rem Eir – have been chartered to the Norwegian energy giant since their delivery.
Earlier this month, Equinor also inked a long-term deal with Remøy Shipping for the PSV Rem Eir , leaving room for a potential upgrade of the vessel to operate on ammonia, in a bid to help the state-owned player reach its emission reduction goals.
