Oceaneering, an underwater engineering company based in Texas, secured a new vessel services contract in the Gulf of Mexico. Through its Offshore Projects Group (OPG), the company finalized the agreement with an undisclosed operator for the execution of installation, inspection, maintenance, and repair (IMR) services.

Vessel and Agreement Details

The project will be carried out by the multi-purpose supply vessel (MPSV) Harvey Deep Sea. The vessel, built in 2013, is currently chartered by Oceaneering until February 2027. For operations, the vessel features two remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) from the Oceaneering Millennium work class.

Scope of Installation and Maintenance Services

Thanks to the signed contract, the MPSV will be deployed to perform two main work fronts. The first involves inspection, maintenance, and repair (IMR) services on underwater structures. The second focus includes installation services for the operator in the Gulf of Mexico.
