Prosafe announced that Ithaca Energy has exercised a two-week option for the Safe Caledonia, enabling the vessel to continue providing accommodation support at the Captain field in the UK sector of the North Sea until mid-December 2025.

Ithaca Energy still holds an additional ten weeks of options for potential continuation beyond the current extension period. Prosafe noted that since mobilization in early June, the Safe Caledonia and its crew have maintained strong operational performance, forming an integral part of Ithaca’s ongoing project.

The Safe Caledonia is a moored, thruster-assisted (TAMS) semi-submersible accommodation support vessel (ASV) constructed in 1982 at the GVA Kockums yard in Sweden to the Pacesetter design. The vessel completed a 20-year life extension project in 2012–2013, enhancing accommodation facilities and extending the structural life of the vessel.
