There has been very little good news in the offshore vessel sector in recent weeks, but some did arrive as this issue went to press when 0stensjo Rederi in Norway confirmed that it had been awarded a contract to provide a service operation vessel (SOV) for Dong Energy. The contract will require a newbuild vessel for operation on the Race Bank offshore windfarm in the UK. The contract awarded to the company by Dong Energy is for five years firm with five optional years. Commencement is 1 September 2017. The vessel will function as a support ship for turbine technicians as they undertake maintenance work on the windfarm.
