Østensjø Rederi has signed a new contract for its inspection, maintenance and repair (IMR) and ROV support vessel Edda Fauna with subsea services company DeepOcean.
Financial details of the contract, which starts on 1 March 2019 and secures firm utilisation until the end of 2020, were not disclosed.
Østensjø Rederi’s chartering manager Kristian Vea said: “We are pleased with being a preferred supplier for DeepOcean and securing long-term work for the Edda Fauna in a challenging market.”
Edda Fauna was built in 2008 by Aker Yards Brattvaag and was chartered as DeepOcean’s flagship IMR vessel, with a dynamic positioning class of DP2. The vessel measures 108 m in length by 23 m in breadth, with a 7.8 m max draft and a dwt of 6,200. It carries one observation-class ROV and two work-class ROVs, and has one 7.2 m2 and two 4.8 m2 moonpools. It also has an ROV Launch and Recovery System. The main propulsion comes from a diesel electric propulsion plant powering two 3,500 kW Rolls-Royce AZP120 Azipull controllable pitch propellers, along with two bow-mounted 1,500 kW Rolls Royce TT2400 tunnel thrusters and one 1,500 kW bow-mounted Rolls-Royce UL 2001 FP retractable azimuth thruster.
