Apache North Sea has extended its contract with Danish based ESVAGT for the Esvagt Observer, a standby vessel which has been servicing the Beryl field, 335 kilometers northeast of Aberdeen, since 2004. The latest contract extension is for four years, with additional extension options of up to four years.
In 2004, the Esvagt Observer was the first ESVAGT vessel to be assigned to a long-term contract in UK sector. Today ESVAGT operates 19 vessels in the UK market.
"ESVAGT has grown to become a leading provider of safety and support at sea services in the strategically important UK market," said Jens Bagger, Head of Chartering at ESVAGT.
"In addition to providing standby cover for the Beryl field, the ‘Esvagt Observer’ performs tanker assist services and maintenance of the single point mooring equipment. We look forward to continuing our long-term relationship with Apache."
