DeepOcean has lined up additional subsea vessel capacity after agreeing a charter with Boskalis for the construction support vessel Boka Spearfish. The 2014-built ship will join the Norwegian contractor’s fleet for the remainder of 2026, with options to extend. Following a short mobilisation, the vessel will be fitted with two work-class remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) and supporting systems for subsea operations. The vessel, previously known as Sea1 Spearfish, is not new to DeepOcean. It has worked under charter for the company before, delivering solid performance on earlier campaigns, the company said. Boskalis added the vessel to its fleet in April 2025 after acquiring it from Norway’s Sea1 Offshore, as part of that owner’s fleet renewal drive. For DeepOcean, the deal adds to a fleet of around 20 construction support vessels and comes as demand for subsea services remains steady across offshore energy projects. The company has also been securing longer-term capacity. Late last year, it fixed the Normand Ocean CSV from Solstad Maritime on a three-year contract, with options, starting in the first quarter of 2027. googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1_95_0_1_2'); }); TagsNetherlands Norway
