The M/V Olympic Canyon DP II multipurpose vessel is scheduled to commence work in April 2008 and will support client’s numerous offshore projects. The vessel will be outfitted with two deepwater 150 HP Triton XLS work class ROV systems, a variety of intervention tooling and support equipment, and a 140 mT active heave compensated crane.
Bart Heijermans, executive vice president and COO of Helix, said: This is the third significant international deepwater contract we have been awarded in as many months. These contracts have added over $300 million to our rapidly growing deepwater contracting backlog, which now extends into 2011.
