Ocean Osprey, one of our newest and well equipped ERRVs, has been chartered by DEFRA for Offshore Patrol work in the North Sea. The newly acquired vessel Ocean Dee has commenced a contract with Shearwater Geoservices for seismic Support.
The securing of new contracts for these vessels will further grow our competence, expand the Company’s markets and make the business even more solid.
