Boskalis strengthens subsea services with two large DSVs
November 28 2017 - 1:00AM
Papendrecht, 28 November 2017
Royal Boskalis Westminster N.V. (Boskalis) has
strengthened its subsea services proposition with the addition of
two large diving support vessels (DSVs). An important section of
the Corporate Business Plan 2017-2019 drawn up earlier this year
was devoted to strengthening and expanding Boskalis' subsea
services. With this addition the existing position in the area of
inspection, repair and maintenance of subsea offshore installation,
pipelines and cables is strengthened. Furthermore, the foundation
is laid for an expansion in the area of subsea contracting,
installation and SURF (Subsea Umbilicals, Risers & Flowlines)
with the aim of further growth in this segment of the offshore
energy market in the regions northwest Europe, Africa and the
Middle East.
Boskalis has reached an agreement with the
bondholders of the two former Harkand vessels under which it has
acquired the DSV Atlantis for approximately USD 60 million and has
signed a three-year bareboat charter for her sister vessel Da Vinci
along with a right of first refusal in the event of a sale. The
vessels, which were taken into service in 2011, are equipped with
two bells for saturation diving work to a depth of 300 meters and
provide accommodation for 120 crew.
