Island Offshore has agreed a further three-year contract with Veripos for continuing provision of GNSS positioning services for 16 DP vessels, in addition to another six due to begin service in the near future.
The new agreement extends a working arrangement between the two companies which first began in 2007.
All the vessels are being supplied with Veripos’s Apex2 precise point positioning service using both GPS and Glonass networks, as well a combination of its Apex, Ultra and Standard services providing continuous GPS-derived augmentation accuracies of the order of 10cm.
With bases in Stavanger, Ulsteinvik and Aberdeen, Island Offshore presently maintains a fleet of approximately 20 specialist support vessels.
