Flagged in
St. Vincent Grenadines, Stanford Eagle is an entirely modern vessel, built in
China in 2014. The 75 m vessel features Dynamic Positioning 2 (DP2)
functionality and Firefighting (FiFi) 1 capability. The vessel will be on
charter to Total, off Nigeria, for 30 months.
Meanwhile,
Stanford Buzzard, delivered to Stanford Marine in October 2011, is similarly
equipped with DP2 and FiFi1 capability, and similarly is on 12-month charter
off Nigeria, this time For ExxonMobil.
Despite the
poor state of the oil and gas industry, Stanford chartering manager, Jessy Joy, indicates that this will not
dissuade the company from entering new business areas, like Nigeria.
Joy said: “We’re thinking long term. Nigeria is a tough market, but we
always want to be expanding.”
Patrick Van Tijn, the Dynamic Positioning technical manager,
said: “The contracts are going very well. We’ve had
good communication with our clients, crew changes have gone smoothly, and we
haven’t had any lost time incidents.”
