As part of these long term contracts, Icon Offshore Group will provide services including transportation of supplies from supply bases to drilling rigs/platforms and vice-versa to the oil major.
The company said in a statement: "The total value of the long-term contracts is MYR55m inclusive extension period and is expected to contribute positively to the earnings and net assets of Icon for the financial year ending 31 December 2015 and beyond."
The new contracts are in addition to the MYR99m ($26m) long-term contract secured in Brunei earlier this year by its wholly owned subsidiary, Icon Bahtera, for the time charter of its new DP2 accommodation work boat (AWB), the Icon Valiant.
Icon deputy CEO Hassan Ali was quoted by thesundaily.com as saying that: "These new long-term contracts reflect positively on the company despite the challenges faced.

In mitigating such risks, the company carries out routine dry docking inspections, afloat repairs and regular maintenance based on its comprehensive preventive maintenance programme.
