DeepOcean 1 UK Ltd., a subsidiary of DeepOcean, has been awarded a contract for the provision of post-lay trenching and survey works in Australia.

Works will be performed from DeepOcean’s DPII MSV Volantis using the 2,800hp jet trencher UT-1.

This contract for post-lay intervention works is scheduled for Q4 2015 and will see DeepOcean’s Volantis mobilize from current works offshore Malaysia to Australian waters.

Tony Stokes, Managing Director of Asia Pacific & Middle East said:

“We are extremely pleased to receive this award in Australian waters. This project highlights the requirement for such front-end trenching technology in the region and the demand for expertise found within DeepOcean and the UT-1. We look forward to a successful campaign and growing our presence in Australian waters”
