Fossil Energy – Gulf of Mexico
DOF Group announced it has struck a deal to charter a Jones Act-compliant offshore support vessel (OSV) for work in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico.
The Norwegian-based company said it is time chartering Bordelon Marine’s ultra light intervention vessel Connor Bordelon for a one-year period starting in March 2024. The deal includes an option for an additional year.
Built by Bordelon Marine Shipbuilders in 2013, the 257-foot-long DP2 vessel is equipped with a SMST 60-ton active heave compensated (AHC) crane with 3,000 meters water depth capabilities. It has a 572-square-meter open deck, helideck and accommodation for 60.
DOF said it will mobilize two heavy-work class remotely operated underwater vehicles (ROV) and survey equipment aboard the vessel as part of the integrated spread to ensure client coverage between the end of its charter of Otto Candies’ Ross Candies in February 2024 and the start of charter of Cade Candies in 2025.
