Splash247: DOF scores Asia Pacific vessel deal

Norwegian offshore vessel owner DOF has secured a long-term charter for the construction support vessel (CSV) Skandi Inventor in the Asia-Pacific region.

The deal, signed with an unnamed international operator, runs for one year from January 2026 and includes extension options.

DOF classifies the award as “substantial,” with an estimated value of between $25m and $50m.

The 2018-built CSV was most recently fixed for 100 days of firm work in the Atlantic earlier this year. Its redeployment to APAC strengthens DOF’s foothold in the subsea services market across the region.

Chief execuytive Mons Aase said the contract demonstrates DOF’s ability to deliver reliable subsea support for long-term asset integrity projects.
