CNOOC Petroleum Europe Limited has exercised two of the three 30-day options available to them, to extend the Safe Boreas at the Buzzard platform complex in the UK sector of the North Sea until end-September 2021.
Safe Boreas was built at Jurong Shipyard Pte Ltd. in Singapore and is constructed according to the GVA 3000E design and is equipped with a DP3 (dynamic positioning) system as well as 12 point mooring arrangement. This allows for operations in harsh environments both in DP and anchored mode, providing maximum cost efficiency and flexibility.
The vessel has the capacity to accommodate 450 persons in single-man cabins. The layout of the unit is unique, with two large internal atriums allowing natural daylight into cabins, mess room and recreational areas.
The vessel is named after Boreas, the Greek god of the north wind and the bringer of cold winter air. The name reflects that the vessel is designed for operating in the Norwegian and UK North Sea, a geographical area renown for its cold climate and harsh winters.
