McDermott International’s Lay Vessel North Ocean 105 (LV105), a deepwater reeled pipelay installation vessel, will be heading to work at Brazil’s pre-salt and Campos Basin area as part of a 200-day charter contract announced today.
Beginning in Q3 2014, the LV105 will carry out deepwater umbilical and flexible pipe installation via its 400 metric ton-rated active heave compensated main crane.
