DeepOcean Secures Five-Year Contract Extension with Diavaz for Subsea Vessel Arbol Grande in Mexico
On August 20, 2024, DeepOcean, a leading ocean services provider, announced a five-year contract extension with Diavaz for the continued use of the vessel Arbol Grande. The vessel will be engaged in Inspection, Maintenance, and Repair (IMR) services across Mexico, particularly in the southern Gulf of Mexico. Delivered in 2003 and tailored specifically for the Mexican market, the Arbol Grande has proven to be a versatile construction and subsea vessel. Over the years, it has been instrumental in various IMR contracts, supporting operations that include saturation and air diving, as well as light construction tasks.
Tony Stokes, Managing Director of DeepOcean Americas, expressed satisfaction with the contract extension, highlighting the vessel’s proven capabilities and its suitability for operations in the region. The Arbol Grande is part of DeepOcean’s fleet of 17 vessels and is Mexican-flagged, featuring accommodation for 199 persons, a 60Te constant tension crane, and a secondary 60Te telescopic crane.
