The Safe Caledonia has operated in the UKCS continuously for more than 10 years and has also previously secured contracts in Mexico, Nigeria and Australia.
Prosafe expects Ithaca Energy to confirm a contract for mid-year for the semisubmersible accommodation vessel Safe Caledonia to work in the UK North Sea.
Currently the vessel is in lay-up at Scapa Flow, Orkney. Prosafe has a Letter of Intent from Ithaca for the six-month firm assignment, with three months of options.
In a fleet update, the company also reported that Safe Zephyrus has resumed operations offshore Brazil, and Safe Notos should follow suit shortly. Both recently underwent upgrade and maintenance work.
