Solstad PSVs tapped for projects in Norwegian waters

Solstad Offshore’s platform supply vessel (PSV) Normand Serenade has been awarded a medium-term contract with Wintershall Dea to support the latter’s drilling operations in Norway.

The award is a call off from the existing frame agreement between Solstad and Wintershall. Commencement of the contract will take place during the first quarter of 2021 for a duration of two wells firm plus five well options.

Meanwhile, as part of the frame agreement between Aker BP and Solstad Offshore, Aker BP has secured the PSV Normand Arctic (pictured) for three months plus three months optional, commencing February 2021.

Normand Arctic has also been fixed by an undisclosed charterer for one well, securing work for the vessel until commencement of the Aker BP contract.
