Offshore vessel operator, Vroon, has been awarded contracts for Platform Supply Vessels (PSVs) by Italian oil and gas giant, Eni, on a long-term drilling project for its operations offshore Mozambique. The VOS Princess is to join its sister vessel VOS Principle in support to the drillship SAIPEM 12000.

Eni’s campaign that was earlier suspended due to COVID-19 pandemic, will resume in the second half of December 2020.  The project is to last for seven (7) months and Vroon says that both vessels (VOS Princess and VOS Principle) will perform to the satisfaction of our customer.

VOS Princess and VOS Principle have both completed the necessary special surveys and are now proceeding to African waters, where they will commence work in the coming weeks.

VOS Princess, under the management of VOS Singapore, had spent the earlier part of this year on an Indian charter, performing supply and accommodation duties. Her docking and special survey were conducted in early November at the Keppel yard in Singapore.

VOS Principle, managed by VOS Genoa, had previously worked for ENI in the region during 2019 and 2020. Her docking and special survey were carried out in Italy and Greece, before departure to Mozambique.
