MEO's Thai joint venture, Uniwise Offshore, has taken delivery of the 'UM Supporter', a 2,000DWT PSV from POET Shipbuilding and Engineering, in December 2012.
The vessel immediately entered into a three year firm contract plus two one-year extension options to provide coil tubing support services to a major oil and gas company's activities in the Gulf of Thailand. This new contract is a continuation of a long standing relationship held in the region.
The fully SPS 2008-compliant vessel has total accommodation for 50 persons and 500m2 of clear deck area space. Twin 1,946kW main engines power the vessel, achieving a service speed of 12 knots. The vessel is also fitted with two 9.0 tonne bow thrusters and a telescopic boom crane. Good capacity for dry bulk and bulk liquids (muds, brine, drill water, fuel, etc) is also provided and a dedicated 150m3 integral tank for cement is also available.
