The company made a three-year deal for PSV ‘Island Commander’. This vessel will continue providing back-up for drilling at the Edvard Grieg complex in the Utsira High region of the North Sea.

Lundin contracted the LNG-fuelled ‘Island Crusader’ and ‘Island Contender’ for durations 600 and 400 days respectively. The two LNG vessels will start work between April and August this year.

The Island Crusader will support the semi-submersible West Bollsta for a ten-well drilling programme. Meanwhile the Island Contender will assist the jack-up Rowan Viking in drilling seven wells.

Island Offshore Management managing director Tommy Walaunet said: “We have not seen contracts of equivalent duration for quite some time now, which makes it extra pleasant to sign contracts for three vessels in one go.
