Under the contract, liquid handling and pump specialists PG Flow Solutions will deliver pump systems for the OSV’s oil recovery system. The contract value is undisclosed.

The equipment will be delivered fast-track to Brazil early 2018.

“The careful positive trends in the OSV market allow owners to upgrade their vessels before they are redeployed to new charters. Ability to deliver high-quality equipment quickly is to enabling vessel owners to capitalise on such opportunities. We have invested in capacity and personnel that puts us in a position to support vessel owners at short notice,” says Roy Norum, EVP Sales & Business Development at PG Flow Solutions.
