Aberdeen, UK-based subsea contractor Bibby Offshore has invested close to £30 million in the past six months increasing its fleet of subsea support vessels by 40 per cent. Most recently, the company signed a contract to charter EDT Jane, a newbuild remotely operated vehicle support vessel (ROV SV). The company now boasts a fleet of eight vessels and 15 ROVs. The dedicated ROV SV, with full survey and inspection spread, was due to be mobilised from April 2014 as part of a 180-day charter, with options to extend for an additional three years. With the continued growth of Bibby Offshore's sister company, Bibby Remote Intervention Ltd (BRIL), a ROV SV was required to deliver contracted subsea commitments, as well as the increasing demand for the full suite of survey and inspection, maintenance and repair (IMR) that the vessel can provide.
