N-Sea and DOF Subsea have entered into a two-year cooperation agreement to provide an integrated saturation (SAT) dive service.

Through the agreement DOF Subsea will provide the dive support vessel Skandi Achiever, whilst N-Sea will provide saturation diving resources. Project management, engineering and diving manual/procedures will be provided through an integrated team, the companies noted.

N-Sea chief operating officer Roddy James said: “This cooperation agreement with DOF Subsea reinforces N-Sea’s key objective; to fully appreciate our clients’ requirements and provide them with the safe, sound and swift service they have come to expect.

“The MoU allows both N-Sea and DOF Subsea to offer an integrated - and highly efficient - SAT diving service to our client; something we regard as particularly important in the context of current market conditions.”

Commenting on the agreement, Robert Gillespie, managing director of DOF Subsea UK said: “We are very excited to work with our partner N-Sea. Teaming up with N-Sea to provide an integrated diving solution will enable us to provide yet another service offering from one of our high specification vessels, namely the Skandi Achiever.

“This cooperation agreement exemplifies both N-Sea and DOF Subsea commitment to the subsea market and reflects our desire to collaborate with companies to the benefit of our respective organisations and clients.”
