The unnamed charterer has exercised the first of two six-month options for each of the vessels Siem Atlas and Siem Giant.

Both extensions are scheduled to start from December 9, 2019.

The two vessels were previously both awarded a one-year contract back in August 2018. The contracts, which started in December 2018, included two six-month options.

Both Siem Atlas and Siem Giant are platform supply vessels of an STX PSV 4700 design. They were built in 2013 and 2014, respectively.

According to the latest AIS data, both vessels are currently located off the coast of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
