The ProSafe owned multi-service vessel MSV Regalia is awarded a 165 day contract for BP West of Shetland in 2001. The contract covers subsea construction support, and ProSafe will supply the MSV Regalia including marine crew and catering services to Halliburton Subsea. Halliburton Subsea is contract partner to BP, and Halliburton Subsea will be carrying out the subsea construction work under a frame agreement between the two companies for the West of Shetland field development.
The contract is expected to commence between 1st April and 1st May 2001. Total contract value for ProSafe ASA is approximately GBP 9 million including mobilisation and demobilisation, but excluding catering services and options.
