Total awards multi-year charter for two PSVs

Total E&P UK has awarded Vroon Offshore Services a multi-year charter for two platform-supply vessels (PSV) to support its operations on the United Kingdom Continental Shelf.

Both contracts are for a firm period of three years, with options available thereafter.

The first vessel will begin duties with TEPUK in February, with the second due to commence operations in September.

The two chartered vessels, which are still to be nominated, form part of a series of six PSVs constructed for Vroon at COSCO Guangdong Shipyard in China.

They feature an X-bow design. The final vessel in the series, VOS Patriot, is scheduled for delivery later this year.
