Harvey Gulf International Marine announces that it has secured a charter extension for the MPSV HARVEY DEEP-SEA through December 31, 2018. Combined with its announcement of 4 long-term vessel charters last week, Harvey Gulf continues to buck the “spot-work” only trend that has been pervasive throughout the ongoing industry downturn for vessel operators.

Harvey Deep-Sea

The DEEP-SEA is a Multi-Purpose Support Vessel equipped with a 165-ton NOV heave-compensated, knuckle boom crane, 15x18ft moon pool, S92 Helideck, and has capacity for 2 ROV’s and 70 persons on board. She is also equipped with liquid mud and dry bulk tanks for traditional OSV operations and, consistent with Harvey Gulf’s environmental protectionist reputation, has Enviro+ and Green Passport certifications.

Harvey Gulf CEO Shane Guidry commented, “The extension of the DEEP-SEA’s charter through December 2018 further reinforces Harvey Gulf’s model of designing vessels for our customers’ needs and demonstrating operational excellence through minimal downtime, continually achieving our “Goal Zero” safety record, and protecting the environment. The result is that our customers want to keep our vessels.”
