Reach has expanded its capacity by securing charters for both the Northern Maria and Olympic Taurus.
For the Northern Maria, the charter arrangement includes a firm period of three years and 6+6 months options.
Northern Maria is a versatile survey vessel with a 20-tons crane and sufficient accommodation and deck capacity, suitable to meet Reach Subsea’s client’s requirements within both the renewable energy and oil and gas sectors. It is an important step to take an increased market share in the early-stage survey market for offshore wind projects, as well as being a capable vessel to perform subsea inspections campaigns.
For the Olympic Taurus, a project charter commenced in January 2024 for a duration of 100 days, with the potential for extension up to an additional 2+2 years.
The Olympic Taurus is a Multipurpose Offshore Vessel featuring diesel-electric propulsion, notable for its low fuel consumption and exceptional flexibility. Equipped with a helideck and an AHC crane, it offers versatility perfectly suited for deployment in the IMR/LCV segments.
Both charters are subject to final approval from lenders.
Jostein Alendal, CEO Reach Subsea, stated: “With a secured backlog for upcoming project periods and long-term charter options in place, we are enhancing our capacity to capitalize on the rapidly advancing global market. Reach Subsea is ideally situated with a comprehensive service portfolio spanning ocean services and data provision, catering to both the growing renewables sector and the established oil & gas market.”
