DOF secures US$60M American vessel contracts, orders new ROV

DOF Group has gained more contracts for its vessels operating in Latin and North America, and has ordered a new work-class remotely operated vehicle (ROV).

The Norwegian vessel owner said its latest round of contracts covers more than 300 days of firm vessel utilisation with a combined contract value of over US$60M.

Part of this haul will see 2011-built Skandi Skansen support the mooring of an offshore structure in Guyana during a six-week programme, commencing in October 2025. This 107-m vessel was built to an STX AH 04 design, with a beam of 24 m and accommodation for 90 people.

In Mexico, DOF secured two contracts for Skandi Implementer with two unnamed international oil companies for work in Q4 2025.

During more than two months of service, this 2018-built vessel, of Marin Teknikk 6027 design, will repair subsea cables and install other structures on the seabed.

In another contract, 2011-built third-party vessel Cade Candies will be used to provide walk-to-work services off the east coast of the US for around eight months starting in Q2 2026.
