Dubai firm charters 42-year-old Seamec DSV

Indian offshore vessel operator Seamec has inked a charter for one of its diving support vessels (DSV) with Dubai-based Mubarak Bridge Maritime.

The UAE firm hired the 1983-built Seamec III DSV on a 20-day firm charter at a dayrate of $70,000. The charterer also has an option to extend the contract.

The vessel will operate off the West Coast of India to support round-the-clock offshore and subsea services. Operations include saturation diving, ROV support, surveys, and subsea crane work.

The total contract value, excluding tax, is $2.16m and includes mobilisation and demobilisation. Work under the deal is already underway.
