Swissco secures OSV charter contracts worth $17.3m

Swissco secures OSV charter contracts worth $17.3m
Singapore’s Swissco Holdings has secured chartering contracts with options worth $17.3m for three OSVs.

The OSVs comprise of two new workboats and one AHTS vessel, all of which will be deployed in the Middle East under the contracts.

“The Middle East continues to be a key source of oil for the global economy. Increasing investments into oil exploration and production in the region will have a knock-on effect on the demand for rigs and offshore support vessels services,” said Sam Kwai Hoong, group cfo of Swissco.

Earlier this month, Singapore-listed Swissco completed an acquisition for four mobile offshore drilling rigs, bringing its rig fleet to eight as it entered into the rig business.
