Seamec wins $57m DSV charter

Indian offshore vessel operator Seamec has secured a long-term charter from Saudi-based Safeen Al Behar for the dive support vessel Seamec Swordfish.

The 2007-built DSV has been fixed for 730 days in a deal worth $57.4m.

The charter with extension options attached, will see the vessel utilised in Saudi and UAE waters from March.

Mumbai-based Seamec bought the vessel as Subtech Swordfish from UK marine service provider James Fisher and Sons for $24m in 2022. The unit had previously worked in the Middle East for contractors Zamil Offshore and Mermaid Subsea Services.
