Genoa-managed anchor-handling tug supply (AHTS) vessels VOS Aphrodite and VOS Triton are currently supporting one of Vroon's long-term clients in a production field offshore Libya.
In addition to her normal support duties, VOS Aphrodite will start work as an accommodation vessel later this month.
The vessel will act as a floating hotel, with client personnel being transferred to a floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) unit or platform each morning, returning on board in the evening.
To further meet accommodation requirements for the technicians working on this project, Vroon client has hired another of Company’s vessels, VOS Theia. VOS Theia is currently underway to the area of operation.
Two weeks ago, Superintendent Tomaso De Donà and Operator Marcello Costa from Vroon Genoa office visited VOS Aphrodite during a port call in Zarzis, Tunisia. The aim of their visit was to assist the Master and crew with preparations for the vessel’s additional duties.
“We thank our client for the continuing trust in our offshore fleet and look forward to operating three AHTS vessels in the field. The choice for Vroon Offshore Services is testament to our proven capability as a one-stop-shop, delivering a diverse portfolio of services that includes accommodation options, passenger transfers, oil recovery and standby duties, cargo supply and static towing during tanker assistance.
We wish the Masters and crews of all three vessel a safe and successful operations.”
