Ocean services provider DeepOcean strengthens its offering to the offshore renewables industries by entering a two-year time charter agreement for the Olympic Ares multi-purpose support vessel (MPSV).

DeepOcean is chartering the Olympic Ares from Fosnavaag-based shipowner Olympic Subsea. The vessel is a modern CSV equipped with a 250 Te crane and will provide subsea inspection, maintenance, and repair (IMR), light construction and recycling services to DeepOcean’s customers in the offshore renewables and oil & gas industries.

Øyvind Mikaelsen, CEO of DeepOcean commented: “Operators of offshore wind farms and oil and gas assets approach DeepOcean because they know we have a 300-strong engineering hub with extensive experience from planning subsea inspection, maintenance and repair operations. The vessels we charter are necessary platforms to execute the work. Adding Olympic Ares to our fleet allows us to further enhance our capacity within this field."

Mikaelsen added: “Reducing emissions from offshore vessels and operations is a key part of this strategy. Collaborating with shipowners such as Olympic Subsea, who operates one of the world’s most modern and flexible fleet of subsea IMRand light construction vessels, enables us to drive down operating expenditure and harmful emissions to air."

The charter contract is due to commence in the first quarter of 2023 and have a firm hire period until the end of 2024, with the option to extend the contract. Olympic will upgrade the vessel’s DP system during this year. This will optimize DP performance and energy efficiency which aims to enable further reduction of the vessel’s carbon footprint. The Olympic Ares will be equipped with 2 x Schilling HD ROVs together with DeepOcean’s dedicated infrastructure.
