It proves that even in a very challenging market, we are able to conclude long-term contracts for our vessels. This contract secures valuable competence and activity for our employees.”
Farstad has chartered out both subsea newbuilds delivered this year, although the company does plan to lay up two PSVs and three AHTSs in Norway to add to four vessels already laid up.
