What Crew Members Say About Skandi-Skansen

DOF Subsea has proudly announced the acquisition of two significant contracts in Africa, which together will involve over 160 vessel days. The contracts focus on the company's two Construction Support Vessels (CSVs), the Skandi Seven and Skandi Skansen. The Skandi Seven has already begun its mission in Angola, providing comprehensive Field Support Vessel (FSV) services alongside project management and engineering solutions. In a parallel effort, the Skandi Skansen is gearing up for mobilization from the North Sea to undertake an essential mooring refurbishment and installation project in Ghana. This strategic move underscores DOF Subsea's commitment to delivering top-tier services in the offshore sector.

DOF Subsea, the renowned Norwegian maritime service provider, has announced a significant contract win for decommissioning subsea infrastructure in the UK Continental Shelf (UKCS). In an official statement released by the Oslo-listed firm, it was disclosed that the agreement involves working with a prominent operator in the offshore decommissioning sector, set to take place in the third quarter of 2019. The decommissioning operations will be conducted using the advanced capabilities of the Skandi Skansen, alongside DOF's own Anchor Handling Tug Supply (AHTS) vessels, ensuring efficient and safe execution of the project.

In a concerning incident at Sekondi-Takoradi port in Ghana, the vessel 'Skandi Skansen,' identified by IMO number 9696748, was targeted by an intruder on October 28, 2018, at approximately 2:30 a.m. While the crew was oblivious to the breach, a thief managed to board the ship and make off with various ship supplies. The crime came to light during the subsequent routine checks by the duty crew, who discovered the container's padlock had been tampered with. A review of the onboard security footage confirmed the theft, prompting an immediate report to local authorities. The incident raises significant concerns regarding security measures at maritime ports.
