The Norwegian company reported on 23 December that Normand Maximus had received Letters of Award from various undisclosed subsea contractors for the execution of projects during 2023.

The projects have a combined duration of minimum 200 days, plus additional option periods, and value of the firm part is approximately NOK 500 million (€48 million).

To remind, Oslo-headquartered ship-owning firm American Shipping Company (AMSC) acquired the CSV in May and signed a long-term bareboat contract for the vessel with Solstad Offshore.

The vessel was delivered in the fourth quarter of 2022 after which it commenced a long-term bareboat charter with a Solstad subsidiary.
