Norwegian OSV owner Island Offshore has secured a two-year contract extension from Equinor UK for the platform supply vessel Island Chieftain.
The 2009-built hybrid battery-powered PSV has been fixed until at least May 2027.
The vessel has been working for the Norwegian energy major in the UK sector since last May, supporting operations at the Mariner field.
The dayrates were not disclosed, but Equinor has secured further options to keep the vessel beyond the latest contract.
In related PSV fixtures, Aberdeen-based energy logistics group ASCO recently contracted the PSV Evita II for a vessel-sharing contract on behalf of BP, Shell, and TotalEnergies.
The 2012-built unit, managed by Vestland Offshore on behalf of Costamare boss Konstantinos Konstantakopoulos’ private offshore venture, has been fixed for three months.
