Under the five-year contract, Smit Lamnalco will support Shell Gabon’s tanker operations at the remote Gamba Terminal, south of Port Gentil.
The renewal covers the deployment, crewing and management of four Smit Lamnalco support vessels. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
The three newbuilds were ordered in mid-November to replace existing tonnage, Smit Lamnalco said in a statement.
The orders cover one Shoalbuster and one Beach Landing Craft from Damen Shipyards, plus one Fast Offshore Crew Boat from UK-based yard Alnmaritec, a well-known supplier in West Africa.
