The new contracts will add seven vessel months to the company’s current backlog.

The survey in the Mediterranean area will utilise the survey vessel Polar Empress while the contract in South East Asia will be conducted by the Polar Duchess.

Shearwater GeoServices currently runs a fleet of four modern seismic vessels.
