It will last for about three months, in addition to mobilisation and demobilisation.

Solstad also negotiated and agreed on a deal on an early release of Normand Frontier from its current contract with American marine robotics company Ocean Infinity to execute the India and Australia contracts.

The early release of Normand Frontier comes as the marine robotics company continues its shift to unmanned and robotic technologies.

In a press statement, Solstad Offshore said: “Solstad and Ocean Infinity have agreed mutually beneficial terms for the remaining part of the firm contract period for the Normand Frontier taking account of the opportunity to deliver the vessel on the India and Australia contract, under which Ocean Infinity is expected to provide both ROVs and personnel.”

Solstad recently secured contracts for its platform supply vessels in Norway.

Last month, Petrobras awarded Solstad Offshore a one-year contract extension for the RSV Far Saga vessel. This vessel has been operating in the Brazilian waters since 2014.
