McDermott said that the DSV has been fast-tracked for the third time in recent months to carry out an emergency response, while the contract is included in its first-quarter 2014 backlog.
McDermott offshore executive vice-president Scott Cummins said: "Pipeline failures can often result in significant production loss, which is why reaction speed to these cases is critical.
"The pipeline must be safely isolated and then stabilised before any repairs can be executed, to ensure the safety of the diver and the environment.
