Teekay Offshore Partners CEO Peter Evensen said: “These contracts further enhance our CoA contract portfolio and are expected to add future cash-flow through higher shuttle tanker fleet utilisation without the need for incremental capital expenditures.

“Looking ahead, the shuttle tanker market in the North Sea is expected to remain tight supported by a combination of more lifting points from new fields coming on-line and limited fleet growth with no uncommitted shuttle tanker newbuildings on order.”

Quad204 is the £3bn redevelopment of the Schiehallion and Loyal fields, which are 175km west of Shetland and 15km north of the Foinaven field.

The project is set to extend production beyond 2035.
