DOF Rederi Is Divesting One of Its Platform Supply Vessels (PSVs), with Delivery of the Vessel After Long-Term Contract with Subsea7.

DOF Rederi, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Norwegian shipowner DOF Group, is currently in the process of divesting one of its platform supply vessels (PSVs).

The company announced that it was negotiating the sale of the PSV Skandi Captain, a medium-sized vessel built in 2004, to an undisclosed international buyer.

The delivery of the vessel is scheduled for Q1 2024. DOF expects the sale to have ‘a positive accounting effect’.

This decision is part of DOF Rederi’s strategy to optimize its fleet and focus on more modern vessels that meet current market needs. The sale of the Skandi Captain represents an important step in this direction, allowing the company to move towards a more competitive and sustainable future.

PSV Skandi Captain: 74.3-Meter Supply Vessel

With a total length of 74.3 meters, the PSV Skandi Captain features an MT 6009-FSV design and can accommodate 21 people on board.

Vessel Divestment: Contracts and New Jobs

This vessel divestment comes one month after DOF closed a contract with Subsea7 and signed an agreement with Maersk Supply Service for two newbuild vessels. Additionally, the Norwegian shipowner has secured three new service contracts with Petrobras, totaling over US$ 260 million in value.

Contract Extension and New Long-Term Contract

The company secured an extension for the vessel until September 2023, along with a new long-term contract for one of its anchor handling tug supply (AHTS) vessels with Equinor earlier this year.

New Jobs and Agreements in the Atlantic Region, Brazil, and West Africa

Additionally, DOF has secured several new jobs in the Atlantic region and has ensured a contract extension in Brazil, along with new agreements in West Africa and the North Sea.
