Vroon kicks off Turkey operations

Published

Netherlands-based Vroon Offshore Services started operations in Turkey this week.

The company’s anchor-handling tug-supply (AHTS) vessels, VOS Tethys and VOS Athos, are currently assisting in positioning operations for the jack-up drilling rig GSP Prometeu, owned and operated by Romania's Grup Servicii Petroliere – GSP Offshore.

The rig is employed on the Istranca exploration project, located northwest of Istanbul in Block 3920 of the Turkish sector of the Black Sea. The project is operated by TPAO, the national oil and gas company of Turkey.

Later this week, a third VOS vessel – VOS Thalassa – will also be deployed to this project, which entails an intensive, four- to five-month exploration campaign for all three vessels, working out of the port of Eregli, Turkey.

All vessels are operated by Vroon Offshore Services in Genova.
