DOF secures contract extension for Skandi Mariner through 2028
DOF Group ASA has secured an extension to the existing contract of its anchor handling tug supply (AHTS) vessel Skandi Mariner, following the exercise of an option under the current agreement.
The contract was previously scheduled to expire during the second quarter of 2027 but has now been extended on a firm basis until the third quarter of 2028. The extension provides the Norwegian offshore services group with additional contracted vessel employment beyond the original expiry date.
DOF classified the value of the extension as Significant, a designation the company uses for contracts valued between USD 15 million and USD 25 million. The exact financial consideration has not been disclosed.
The announcement confirms that an existing contractual option has been exercised rather than a separate new charter being awarded. DOF did not identify the client, specify the vessel’s operating region or provide further details regarding the services covered by the extended agreement.
The extension adds to DOF’s contracted offshore vessel activity, supporting employment visibility for Skandi Mariner into 2028. The company operates a fleet of offshore and subsea vessels serving the offshore energy industry, alongside engineering and integrated marine services.
DOF announced the extension on November 9, 2026, without disclosing any additional options beyond the newly confirmed contract period.
