With operations coordinated out of DSM’s equipment base in Mongstad, Norway the pre-lay mooring Equipment and services provided will include chain, fibre ropes, anchors, connectors, buoyancy and handling equipment as well as mobilization and demobilization services. The contract with OMV also follows DSM’s successful provision of mooring services to the Island Innovator rig earlier in 2017.
“The announcement reinforces Deep Sea Mooring’s position as the leading provider of mooring solutions on the Norwegian Continental Shelf,” said Dan Pedersen, Vryhof’s Commercial Director.
He continues: “From our high-quality equipment – where clients can access the full service history of every single component – through to our in-house subject matter experts and years of operational experience across the region, we are ideally positioned to capitalize on the industry upturn.”
