Maersk Supply Service has secured a long-term contract with Subtec S.A de C.V. of Mexico, a subsidiary of Blue Marine Group, for one of its Stingray new-building vessels. In this way, Maersk Supply Service enters the Mexican market for the first time.
The Stingray vessel will be operating in the Bay of Campeche performing general support duties for Blue Marine and their clients, including IRM and maintenance of Pemex’s platforms as well as enhancement and well stimulation.
“We are excited to commence our activities in the Mexico region and offer the exclusive capabilities and operational efficiencies of our Stingray new-building to Blue Marine Group and their clients,” says Chief Executive Officer Steen S. Karstensen.
Juan Reynoso Durand, Executive Chairman of Blue Marine, stressed that this vessel will be a valuable tool for the group, in order to provide integrated services to oil companies in the region in the years to come, and is an opportunity to create synergies between Maersk Supply Service and Blue Marine for the oil & gas market.
The contract will commence in autumn 2018 with a firm duration until June 2020.
