Norwegian energy firm Equinor has chartered three Norwegian-flagged platform supply vessels (PSVs) for short-term work, tapping units from Tidewater and Remøy Shipping.
Brokers report that Tidewater’s Sun Tide and North Purpose have been fixed for periods of just over one month. The 2014-built 5,630 dwt Sun Tide is understood to be earning close to $10,300 per day. Dayrates for the 2010-built 4,830 dwt North Purpose were not disclosed.
Remøy Shipping has also secured more work for the 2010-built 4,900 dwt Rem Crusader, which joined the Norwegian market in 2024 after working on the UK shelf. The vessel has been fixed on similar terms to the Tidewater ships, both in duration and rate.
All three PSVs are under the Norwegian flag and are expected to support supply duties for Equinor operations on the Norwegian Continental Shelf.
In separate spot market activity, Harbour Energy UK has fixed two anchor handlers and one PSV for short-term rig move and support work. Fixture durations are reported to be around two weeks.
