Calecore and N-Sea to Continue Operations in Barents Sea
Calesurvey, Calecore’s UK-based offshore geophysical division, has seen a steady increase in demand for ROV survey services over the past two years. In June work-class ROV operations were undertaken onboard the Kommandor Calum for a project west of Shetland whilst the Kommandor Stuart has been undertaking multiple integrated 2DHR, ROV and seabed testing and sampling campaigns offshore northern Norway.
The Siem Stork, operated by Calecore's sister company N-Sea, has this week replaced the Kommandor Stuart to continue operations in the Barents Sea. The vessel is equipped with a new SMD Quasar work-class ROV and Calegeo supplied seabed geotechnical tools. The Kommandor Stuart is now heading north with Calecore’s geophysical vessel Kommandor Calum and geotechnical borehole vessel Highland Spirit to commence a multi-year contract in the Russian Arctic.
Calecore and N-Sea are backed by a VEP, a Dutch based Private Equity Fund.
