DeepOcean rebooks Solstad’s Normand Jarstein

Solstad Offshore has secured a new contract with DeepOcean for its construction support vessel (CSV) Normand Jarstein.

The CSV will support DeepOcean’s inspection, maintenance, and repair (IMR), light construction, offshore renewables and recycling projects.

The contract will commence in the first quarter of 2022 and have a firm period of hire until the end of 2023.

There is also an option to extend the contract until the end of 2024, Solstad said.

To remind, Normand Jarstein secured a contract extension with DeepOcean at the end of 2019 for renewable energy and oil and gas projects.

The vessel was awarded a contract by Ørsted a year later for work on the Hornsea Two offshore wind farm in the UK.

Most recently Solstad won a contract with DeepOcean for its CSV Normand Ocean to be utilized on DeepOcean’s IMR and light construction projects in the North Sea.
