Fairstar Heavy Transport awarded USD 2.9 million rig transportation contract by Seadrill
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Fairstar Heavy Transport N.V. (FAIR) has been awarded a new contract to
transport the drilling rig OFFSHORE VIGILANT from Port of Spain, Trinidad to
Vung Tau, Vietnam on Fairstar's semi-submersible vessel FJELL. The contract
value is USD 2.9 million.
FJELL has just safely discharged two concrete power generating barges for the
Chevron EGTL project in Escravos, Nigeria and is en route to Port of Spain. The
OFFSHORE VIGILANT is expected to be loaded on the FJELL at the end of MAY.
Willem Out, COO of Fairstar, commented: "It is business as usual at Fairstar.
This voyage positions FJELL almost perfectly to be in the Far East just in time
to begin her work on the Gorgon contract in August. Once the rig has been safely
discharged, we will put FJELL into dry-dock and prepare the ship for Gorgon
certification."
