Another vessel is set to join N-Sea Group’s fleet as the company has chartered a 2016-built offshore support vessel for IRM, survey, UXO and cable operations.
N-Sea has entered into an agreement with Rederij Groen to long-term charter the modern offshore support vessel Aquarius-G.
With its length of 68 meters, 15 meters beam and a draught of 5 meters, the vessel is ideal for executing IRM, survey, UXO and cable operations in the North Sea, the company said.
N-Sea will have the vessel under full management and control.
“The vessel and her experienced crew will play a key role in realising N-Sea’s ambition to become the subsea services contractor of choice,” N-Sea said. “By having dedicated vessels, N-Sea can provide safer and more efficient operations through working with fully committed and integrated teams. With this new dedicated vessel initiative N-Sea can offer its clients, a unique set of subsea solution capabilities supported by experts, better serving the needs of our clients.”
The announcement follows a couple of moves N-Sea made recently to strengthen its fleet and subsea activities. Namely, the Dutch company in November 2023 entered into an agreement with Rederij Groen to long-term charter the 4-WINDS vessel and extended its long-term charter agreement with Braveheart Marine for the Braveheart Spirit vessel.
Earlier this week, N-Sea announced it had chartered the hybrid, fuel-efficient survey and remotely operated vehicle (ROV) support vessel Geo Ranger.
