Shell have returned to their quest of finding an AHTS vessel to assist in the heading control of FPSO Espírito Santo and likely other internal demands from their producing fields as well. The Dutch company had already issued a spot requirement before the Carnival holidays but, due to an extremely high utilization of AHTS vessels in Brazil, there are no available candidates at the moment. The requirement is firm for 3 days with additional 15 days options and commencement window set for March 2nd or earlier, in case any options arise.
