SeaRenergy has entered into a long-term charter agreement with Britoil for the platform supply vessel (PSV) BOS Prelude, enhancing its offshore supply capabilities in the North Sea. The vessel will primarily support SeaRenergy's multi-year offshore infrastructure contract with Siemens Energy, assisting in the installation and commissioning of converter platforms.
The BOS Prelude will also be available for other supply duties in the German Bight and the UK sector. The charter agreement is set for a firm duration of seven years, with options for an additional three-year extension, potentially securing supply services for up to a decade.
Acquired by Britoil from Vroon Offshore in 2023, the vessel is expected to play a critical role in ensuring reliable and efficient logistics for offshore energy projects. Operating from ports in the German Bight and the UK sector, it will support material transfers and offshore logistics for Siemens Energy's offshore infrastructure framework.
Benjamin Vordemfelde, Managing Director of SeaRenergy, emphasized the importance of the vessel for the company's operations. “With the BOS Prelude, we are expanding our offshore supply activities and reaffirming our commitment to providing efficient and seamless offshore infrastructure support services,” Vordemfelde said. “The long-term charter with Britoil is an important step in expanding our reliable supply chain for offshore projects in the North Sea.”
Andrea Cavo, Managing Director of Britoil, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership. “We are excited to partner with SeaRenergy for the long-term charter of BOS Prelude,” Cavo said. “With our decades of experience supporting offshore energy leaders worldwide, we are proud to extend our expertise to the growing offshore wind sector. BOS Prelude will play a key role in advancing SeaRenergy's offshore operations in the North Sea, delivering excellence through reliable and sustainable services that drive the transition to a greener future.”
The BOS Prelude is expected to play a significant role in supporting the development of offshore energy infrastructure in the region, contributing to the ongoing energy transition efforts.
