Woodside Energy awarded MMA Offshore a US$35 million (A$50 million) contract to provide three vessels to support Woodside’s offshore Northwest Shelf, Pluto and AusOil production assets in Australia’s North West region.
The three vessels to be chartered include two of MMA’s purpose built offtake support vessels (OSVs), the Mermaid Sound and the Mermaid Strait and a modern, high specification platform supply vessel (PSV), the Mermaid Leeuwin.
The contract for the three vessels is for a firm period plus a number of options. Should all options be exercised, the contract value would be approximately $77.4 million (A$110 million) in total.
“The significance of the contract in the current competitive market cannot be overstated. There is enormous pressure on the offshore marine industry to achieve sustainable cost positions without compromising quality operations,” Jeff Weber, MMA managing director said.
