Sister ship: the Geowave Commander
Wavefield adds new ship to fleet
Norway's Wavefield Inseis has boosted its fleet after chartering the Geowave Master 3D vessel from fellow Norwegian company Geo.
The charter runs for seven years with options to extend for up to 17 years.
The Geowave Master is currently being converted in a Norwegian yard and will be delivered from in May next year.
The 117 metre long and 22.5 metre wide 3D seismic vessel will be the third large capacity vessel launched by Wavefield Inseis, following on from the Geowave Commander launched in September 2006 and the Geowave Champion which will be introduced in April 2007.
The new vessel will be rigged for 12 streamer acquisition and is specifically designed to meet the high-capacity 3D, 4D, multi-azimuth and wide-azimuth markets.
