The value of the exercised option is approximately USD 9.3 million.
Safe Scandinavia was built in 1984 at the Aker Verdal yard to an Aker H-3.2E design.
The rig has a twelve (12) point, all chain mooring system allowing station keeping in the harshest of environments.
With a maximum of 583 beds, two workshops and 60 workstations, together with very high levels of accommodation, good cranage and a high payload capacity, the Safe Scandinavia is an offshore support vessel suitable for construction, commissioning and remedial work.
