Repsol Sinopec extends Safe Boreas

Repsol Sinopec Resources UK has exercised options to further extend the charter of the Safe Boreas semisubmersible accommodation vessel by a total of 21 days.

The firm operational period of the Safe Boreas at Montrose A in the UK sector of the North Sea has been extended through 27 January 2017 with Prosafe continuing with the reduced option periods’ day rate consistent with market conditions.

Safe Boreas, built at Jurong Shipyard in Singapore, is constructed according to the GVA 3000E design and has the capacity to accommodate 450 persons in single man cabins. Equipped with a DP3 (dynamic positioning) system as well as 12-point mooring arrangement, Safe Boreas can operate in harsh environments both in DP and anchored mode.
