DOF Group ASA has secured several new contract awards in the Atlantic region, with execution planned mainly during the fourth quarter of 2025 and the first quarter of 2026. The awards cover more than 250 firm vessel days, with options excluded, and the combined firm value exceeds $60 million.

In West Africa, Skandi Hera and Skandi Master will operate in subsea mode under direct contracts with an operator. Skandi Hera is assigned trenching and burial work, while Skandi Master will support commissioning and start-up activities on a tie-back project. Each engagement is expected to run for up to two months.

In the North Sea, Skandi Installer is scheduled for multiple subsea scopes across the Norwegian Continental Shelf and the UK Continental Shelf. The vessel will start with a decommissioning project for a UK operator before mobilising to a Norwegian operator to install subsea production equipment and perform various well-related activities.

Havila Phoenix will be utilised on an IMR project on the Norwegian Continental Shelf and will also provide support on one of Skandi Installer’s projects. The firm commitments total more than 130 vessel days for Skandi Installer and more than 45 vessel days for Havila Phoenix.

The awards include project management, logistics, engineering and offshore delivery, to be executed by DOF teams based in Norway and Scotland.

Separately, DOF has been awarded a multi-year contract in the North America region for Shell, defined by the company as Significant, excluding any variation works. Under the agreement, DOF will provide an integrated IMR package—covering vessel and ROV services—for Shell Trinidad and Tobago Limited. The scope spans 2025, 2026 and 2027, totalling 190 days across the three years. DOF defines a Significant contract as having a value between $15 million and $25 million.
