ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL CHARTER COMPLETED

Late one Friday afternoon, back in June, we received a request for a vessel required urgently in German waters.  The requirement was from middle of June to end of July, around six weeks.

In our usual style, any plans we had for the rest of the afternoon and evening were put on hold as both phones and both laptops became red hot whilst we did our utmost to find a suitable vessel.  We had several vessels that were perfectly capable of undertaking the task required and that were available but unfortunately not one that already carried the required Gleichwertigkeitsbescheinigung which is the German Certificate of Equivalence to permit vessels to work in German waters.

It is not in our nature to give up, so our next step was to put out a general request on LinkedIn.  On Sunday afternoon we received a telephone call from Seawave Offshore in Denmark.  They had a mono-hull available but we were not certain whether our client would accept a mono-hull or if the vessel had the full Certificate of Equivalence.  Several conversations later and it seemed that we were on to a winner.  The team at Seawave pulled out every stop to fully obtain the Gleichwertigkeitsbescheinigung in record time and soon Captain Jonas was taking the vessel from Denmark to Germany where she was viewed by the client.  Initial feedback on the vessel was very positive.

After a couple of days "trial runs" with some local crew, off she went on full contract.

She has certainly performed well beyond any expectation and the feedback from our customer

has been excellent.  Proof of this in itself is that the contract was extended until the end of August.

Comments from Jette at Seawave have been that it has been "a pleasure to work with OMS and their customer" and we would say exactly the same in return.  This charter has indeed been a pleasure and we would gladly work with Jette, Captain Jonas and the team at every opportunity.

The vessel is now available for charter again and, having proven herself, on Riffgat wind farm, makes her very marketable.
