Yahoo Finance Repsol (REPYY) Extends Charter Contract for PSV Energy Swan
Repsol Norge, a subsidiary of Spanish energy major Repsol REPYY, has extended its contract for the platform supply vessel (“PSV”), Energy Swan. PSV Energy Swan was chartered for a period of two months. After the initial firm period, it had an optional two plus two months that Repsol Norge could choose to exercise.
PSV Energy Swan is operated by Norwegian vessel owner, Golden Energy Offshore. Golden Energy has mentioned that the extended duration of two months would be in direct continuation of the existing charter contract from 2023. The financial details of the deal have not been disclosed.
PSV Energy Swan is a large PSV/pipe carrier of an ST 216 design, which was built in 2015. It can accommodate 28 people. The Norwegian vessel owner and operator has informed that since all options under the Repsol Norge charter have now been exercised, the vessel can be availed for a new charter from May 1, 2024.
Golden Energy Offshore has recently signed a binding Memorandum of Understanding for obtaining four PSVs and one safety and standby vessel from the subsidiaries of the Netherlands’ Vroon Holding, in an attempt to expand its fleet of offshore supply vessels. The total consideration of the deal was $94 million.
Repsol Norge’s contract extension follows closely after Golden Energy Offshore secured additional work for two of its PSVs in the North Sea.
