We are pleased to announce the successful completion of two work scopes with our vessel, M/V Ross Eagle, for leading E&P companies on the Norwegian Continental Shelf. Both projects were executed safely, on time, and within budget, with safety as our top priority.
Ross Eagle will be available for assignments until September 23, after which she will head to the yard for major upgrades. These upgrades will include:
- Installation of an A-frame over the moonpool combined with an active heave-compensated winch
- Deployment of a Work-Class ROV (WROV)
- Additional equipment to enhance capabilities
Following the upgrades, Ross Eagle will be ready for a range of Inspection, Maintenance, and Repair (IMR) scopes, including cutting-edge wellhead cutting and geotechnical coring technology.
Ross Eagle provides smart solutions to address the shortage of specialized vessels for integrated site surveys and geotechnical management.
The M/V Ross Eagle addresses a critical energy industry bottleneck: the scarcity of special-purpose vessels. Its debut marks a key milestone, positioning AGR as a premier partner for projects in comprehensive survey management, well abandonment, and decommissioning projects.
The demand for seabed mapping and geotechnical data collection has skyrocketed, driven by the rapid expansion of offshore wind projects. This surge has often resulted in delays and uncertainty due to the limited availability of specialized vessels.
“With M/V Ross Eagle in our fleet, we can offer end-to-end solutions, from initial desktop studies to the execution of complex geophysical and geotechnical offshore operations,” says Jarle Vespestad, VP Marine & Survey Management at AGR. “The vessel strengthens our market position, providing clients with unmatched expertise, efficiency, and predictability.”
Ross Eagle is equipped to provide robust technical solutions for both survey and plug and abandon operations. With a moonpool under a 100mT A-frame and two sets of winch systems, the ship is well-rigged for a wide range of missions.
In partnership with Enviros and Baker Hughes, the vessel can be tailored with an array of scope-specific operational equipment. Its accommodation module with 38 beds allows for crew-intensive operations over extended periods. From supply duties to offshore wind, Ross Eagle is versatile and ready for various project types.
