Farstad Shipping wins subsea work from Total

Norway’s Farstad Shipping has been awarded an 18 month contract by Total E&P Congo, via Petro Services, for 2015-built construction support vessel Far Sleipner.

The vessel will be supporting subsea development activity off Congo, commencing during the fourth quarter of 2016. In addition to the firm 18-month contract, Total also has six additional two-month options.

“Over the last 18 months, Far Sleipner has developed very good relations with Total through the work performed on the MOHO North field development project in Congo. We are very pleased to be selected as Total’s preferred partner for the next phase of this project. This contract shows the attractiveness of our new series of subsea vessels that meet our client’s expectations for advanced subsea operations in deep water production developments. We highly appreciate the confidence Total, as one of our key clients, is showing us again,” commented Karl-Johan Bakken, CEO of Farstad Shipping.
