Complete Maritime Profile & Reviews of Rem-Saltire

In a significant development within the maritime sector, Forland Subsea II, a subsidiary of E Forland, has reached an agreement with Fugro Subsea for the termination of their long-standing vessel charter. The subsea vessel in question has been under contract with Fugro Subsea Services since its delivery in 2008. However, in a notice served back in August, Fugro announced the termination, which will be effective as of October 1, 2017. This marks the end of an era for the ROV vessel that has played a vital role in Fugro's operations over the years.

E Forland has officially disclosed that its subsidiary, Forland Subsea II, has been served with a termination notice by Fugro Subsea Services regarding the charter contract for the versatile offshore vessel Fugro Saltire. This termination is set to take effect on October 1. In light of this development, Forland Subsea II is prepared to pursue any potential claims to recover losses resulting from the abrupt end of the agreement.

The offshore support vessel "Fugro Saltire," equipped with two remotely operated vehicles (ROVs), has arrived at Puerto de la Luz on May 9, 2023, to tackle the environmental concerns stemming from the Russian fishing trawler "Oleg Naydenov." This trawler sank approximately 24 kilometers off Punta Maspalomas, leading to fuel leaks through eight cracks in its hull. Commissioned by the Ministry of Public Works, the Norwegian company Otech employed the "Fugro Saltire" to conduct the crucial repair operation. The endeavor, set to commence this week, presents significant challenges due to the wreck's depth of around 2,700 meters, making it difficult to estimate the duration of the project. Preliminary assessments will first ascertain how much of the 1,409 tons of bunker fuel remains within the submerged vessel, 24 days following its sinking. Unfortunately, adverse weather conditions on May 9 delayed the start of the repairs. Meanwhile, the support vessels "Luz de Mar" and "Miguel de Cervantes" have been actively engaged in recovering residual oil in the area to mitigate any environmental impact.
