ESVAGT extends partnership with Hess

ESVAGT and Hess have agreed to extend their relationship for an additional twelve years.

The two companies having collaborated at the South Arne field for 17 years, where ESVAGT has supplied Hess with supply and standby vessels for the platform, as well as connecting tank vessels to production tanks.

The new contract will expand the scope of work to include service, maintenance and inspection of the hose system and to perform service vessel duties in connection with work on Hess’ unmanned platforms. These operations, beginning 2018, will be handled by a purpose designed ESVAGT vessel.

”We are very pleased that Hess chose to extend the contract and expand our cooperation by entrusting us with more work. We see it as a confirmation of trust in our working relationship and our skills – both now and in the future,” said Søren Nørgaard Thomsen, ESVAGT’s Managing Director.

The Esvagt Omega has provided standby services for Hess in the South Arne field until the start of May. These duties have now been taken over by the Esvagt Connector while ESVAGT builds the new vessel at Cemre Shipyard.

The new built vessel will enter into a charter with Hess in 2018.
