Sentinel Marine bags £36 million in new contracts, extensions

Aberdeen-based Sentinel Marine has secured a total of £36 million (US$46.6 million) in contract awards and extensions to operate its fleet of emergency response and rescue vessels (ERRVs) in the North Sea.

The contracts are a mix of ongoing multi-year agreements and shorter-term contracts to support oil field operators involved in decommissioning projects.

New contracts have been awarded by independent oil and gas company Chrysaor and Spirit Energy, which have chartered the ERRVs Bailey Sentinel and Biscay Sentinel, respectively.

There has also been an extension to the contract for Mariner Sentinel (pictured), which is chartered to Equinor’s Mariner field, and for Forties Sentinel‘s contract with INEOS. Forties Sentinel is currently tasked in the firm’s Breagh gas field in the southern North Sea in support of routine operations and drilling.
