海洋服务提供商 DeepOcean 签署了多用途支援船“Glomar Supporter”号的定期租船协议，拓展了其在海上可再生能源和油气行业的服务范围。DeepOcean

将利用“Glomar Supporter”号增强其在勘察、检验和轻型 IMR（检查、维护和维修）市场的服务，服务对象包括海上风电场开发商和运营商以及油气行业。

“我们已经拥有一支庞大的海上船舶船队，但我们一直在积极寻找能够提供更具成本效益服务的小型船舶，尤其是在海上可再生能源领域。当得知“Glomar Supporter”号即将交付时，我们决定抓住这个机会，”DeepOcean 首席执行官 Yvind Mikaelsen 表示。

“Glomar Supporter”号将于 2026 年 1 月加入 DeepOcean 庞大的船队，并计划在欧洲开展首批业务。” DeepOcean 从 Glomar Offshore BV 租赁了这艘船

。Glomar Supporter 建于 2009 年，在安全高效的运营方面拥有良好的记录，并于 2021 年进行了大规模的重建和翻新。这艘 60 米长的船配备了 DP2 定位保持能力，载重量约为 1,395 吨 DWT，总甲板空间为 497 平方米。

此外，该船的主尾部有一个 A 型框架，用于部署和拖曳多种类型的传感器，包括地震设备。该船还配备了许多测量传感器和其他技术，包括多波束回声测深仪 (MBE)。该船有一个专门的岩土设备下水区和一个配置为布放和回收系统 (LARS) 的夹层甲板，适用于工作级 ROV 作业。DeepOcean

将在该船上部署其一台工作级 ROV (WROV)。此外，公司还将考虑引进一艘观察级遥控潜水器 (ROV)。

“勘测、检查和IMR工作是海工市场中日益增长的领域。我们期待为客户提供这艘额外的船舶运力和服务，”DeepOcean英国公司董事总经理Robin Mawhinney说道。

该船预计将于2026年第一季度投入运营，届时DeepOcean将完成对该船的引进工作。

Ocean services provider DeepOcean expands its service offering to the offshore renewables and oil and gas industries by entering into a time charter agreement for the multipurpose support vessel Glomar Supporter.

DeepOcean will utilise the Glomar Supporter to enhance its offering in survey, inspection and light IMR (inspection, maintenance and repair) markets to developers and operators of offshore wind farms and in the oil and gas sector.

“We already have a large fleet of offshore vessels, but we have actively been looking for smaller vessels that can provide an even more cost-effective offering, particularly in the offshore renewables space. We decided to seize the opportunity when we heard that the Glomar Supporter became available,” says Øyvind Mikaelsen, CEO of DeepOcean.

The Glomar Supporter will join DeepOcean’s extensive vessel fleet in January 2026 with its first operations planned in Europe. DeepOcean has chartered the vessel from Glomar Offshore B.V.

Built in 2009, the Glomar Supporter, which has a proven track record in safe and efficient operations, underwent an extensive rebuild and refurbishment in 2021. The 60-metre vessel is equipped with DP2 station keeping capabilities, a carrying capacity of around 1,395 tonnes DWT and a combined deck space of 497 square metres.

Additionally, the vessel features a main stern A-frame for the deployment and towing of multiple sensor types, including seismic equipment. The vessel also features a number of survey sensors and additional technologies, including multibeam echo sounders (MBE). The vessel has a dedicated launch area for geotechnical equipment and a mezzanine deck configured for a launch and recovery system (LARS), suitable for work-class ROV operations.

DeepOcean will mobilize one of its work-class ROVs (WROV) on the vessel. In addition, the company will consider mobilizing an observation-class ROV (OROV).

“Survey, inspection and IMR work are growing segments of the offshore market. We look forward to providing our clients with this additional vessel capacity and service offering in this market,” says Robin Mawhinney, Managing Director of DeepOcean UK.

Operations are scheduled to commence in the first quarter of 2026, following the completion of DeepOcean’s mobilisation of the vessel.
