Solstad scores three-year CSV fixture

Norwegian vessel owner Solstad Maritime has fixed its construction support vessel (CSV) Normand Frontier to an international contractor for three years.

Solstad Offshore, which owns 27% of Solstad Maritime, said the contract has an immediate startup and will keep the 2014-built CSV fully utilised until the end of 2027.

The rates are in line with current market levels for this vessel type, the company added.

The charter includes two work-class ROVs, including manning, tooling, survey services, and project personnel, which will be delivered by Solstad and compatriot Omega Subsea.
