An unnamed “international” client has chartered Olympic Shipping’s anchor handling tug supply (AHTS) vessel Olympic Octopus (16,085 bhp, built 2006) for 12 months in the North Sea.
The Oslo-listed company did not disclose the value of the contract, which includes four six-month extension options.
The vessel (pictured) has been laid up in Fosnavåg in Norway since mid-November 2015, and will be prepared to commence operations from July.
Olympic Octopus‘ last employment was a seven-day contract for ConocoPhillips Norway during October last year, in which the AHTS provided support services to the jack-up drilling rig Maersk Gallant.
