GC Rieber Shipping has announced that it has secured a time charter agreement with Technip Angola for subsea construction support vessel Polar Onyx.
.The charge will begin imminently and the vessel will conduct SURF and construction duties in Angola for a period of up to two months.
The vessel, famously yanked from the now bankrupt Ceona where it was on a five-year charter, recently competed a cable lay project for James Fisher Marine Services in the British Sector of the North Sea.
“This is an interesting contract for us where the operational capabilities of the vessel and her equipment get fully utilized. Technip’s strong presence in West Africa makes the contract strategically important to us, and we look forward to cooperating with them also in this region”, said Irene Waage Basili, ceo of GC Rieber Shipping.
