ONGC wanted six 80-tonne anchor handlers. ABG FPSO quoted $9800/day each for PFS Brave and PFS Courage.
Tag matched this rate for Tag 13 and so did Shipping Corporation for SCI Ratna. ONGC is short by two vessels in this category.
For the eight platform supply vessels of 3000-tonne capacity, ABG quoted PFS Supplier at $12,330/day. SCI matched this rate for SCI Nalanda and SCI Yamuna and so did Samson Maritime for Emerald.
ONGC is four vessels short in this category. Bids were received on August 13.
