Comfort at Sea signs contract in Canada
SHIPPING: Comfort at Sea, the joint venture between Blue Water Shipping and ISP, has arranged a charter of the Sea Voyager to EBC-IGLU, Toronto, as an accommodation vessel for port construction in Deception Bay, Canada.
The vessel will be delivered during the first week of July for 100-120 days of charter.
160 construction workers will be working on a two-shift schedule due to the time constraint of the job. Deception Bay closes around the end of October due to ice, and the work must be completed before this time.
"Comfort at Sea has had a fantastic start as this joint venture was only established a few months ago. In May, we announced the charter of Sea Spirit to Siemens, and can now announce that the Sea Voyager has been chartered for work off the coast of Canada. Signing two charter contracts so swiftly is very satisfactory. There are a number of other contracts, as well long term contracts being negotiated, and we are looking forward to the expanded relationship between Blue Water Shipping A/S and ISP in the Comfort at Sea joint venture", says Director Kurt Skov, Blue Water Shipping.
ISP, Inc. will handle the technical management of the vessel, and ISP Leisure will provide hotel services during this charter period.
Following the job in Canada, the Sea Voyager will be positioned to Northern Europe for a winter layup, following which it will be available for charters for the summer of 2012.
