With a 500-t capacity, a high-outreach offshore crane and a fully equipped accommodation block for up to 56 people, this highly versatile vessel also has a strong track record. Thor is 107.82 metres long and sails under the Madeiran flag."

Upstreamonline.com is reporting "Inpex has exercised an option to extend its charter of Maersk Drilling’s ultra-deepwater semi-submersible rig Maersk Deliverer for operations on the Japanese operator's giant Ichthys gas field offshore Western Australia.
The 12-months extension is expected to start in July 2023 in direct continuation of the rig’s current contract, which has a dayrate of US$266,200. Another 12-month option remains on the Maersk Deliverer’s contract."

Martyn Wingrove at Riviera reports "Shipowners and operators can cut their scope 3 carbon emissions from towage services using Svitzer’s tugs in the UK after an agreement was signed with a procurement platform provider.
Svitzer offers carbon-neutral EcoTow for escorting and manoeuvring ships into and out of terminals in London and Medway, in southeast England, with its tugs powered by sustainably sourced marine biofuels. Up to 10 tugs working in the Thames Estuary and Medway River run on sustainable second-generation biofuels derived from hydrogenated vegetable oil (HVO)."
