CGG bareboat-chartered Viking Vision for eight years in 2007. This contract was extended by a further two years in 2011 when Eidesvik and CGG Veritas formed a joint venture to manage ten 3D seismic survey vessels.
In other news, earlier today CGG announced it has won a multi-client contract from the Instituto Nacional de Petroleo (INP) to acquire seismic data in offshore Mozambique.
