Offshore support vessel owner Tidewater has bagged a charter deal for its platform supply vessel Troms Lyra in Norway.
Offshore shipbrokers stated the 2013 Vard-built PSV won a fixture for around 100 days with Spirit Energy. It will provide supply duties for the plug and abandonment jackup rig Well-Safe Protector.
Well-Safe Solutions was awarded two contracts on the UK Continental Shelf for Spirit Energy and an additional global operator in November last year.
The deals were for the Well-Safe Protector jackup and Well-Safe Defender semisub fixed for a combined 170 days of firm work, with options for a further total duration of up to 140 days in 2025 and 2026.
Spirit Energy booked the jackup to decommission five wells on the York platform in the Southern North Sea over 97 days.
The firm scope was originally planned to start in the second quarter of 2025, with two optional subsea wells to be decommissioned in direct continuation or deferred until a later date. However, shipbrokers claim that the PSV will start work in mid-July.
