Nexans Norway and IKM Subsea have come to an agreement to extend the current ROV services contracts on board the C/S Nexans Skagerrak. The contract value including options is 75 million NOK and duration term is firm for three years, plus two yearly options.

 

IKM Subsea’s ROV services will be integrated with iSurvey’s positioning and monitoring service during cable lay and trenching operations.

 

Ben Pollard, Managing Director of IKM Subsea, noted that the long term contract comes in “challenging times,” and said the deal enables the company to further develop its capabilities within the subsea power cable lay market.

 

Since 2012, IKM Subsea has supplied a Merlin WR200 Work class ROV’s onboard on the C/S Nexans Skagerrak and had in addition supplied the ROV’s with personnel and other related services.
