Ezra Holdings clinched a new charter and charter renewals worth approximately $231m for four offshore support vessels (OSVs) from national oil companies and an oil major, Seatrade Asia online reports. The charters are for an average of 4.25 years, including options, for four anchor handling tug and supply (AHTS) vessels to be deployed in South America and various regions in Asia-Pacific.
“Brazil in particular will be investing heavily in offshore oil and gas infrastructure and services over the next few years in order to achieve its goal of being one of the world's top oil producers,” said Lionel Lee, managing director at Ezra.
