ONGC hunts multiple vessels for offshore India operations

India’s Oil & Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) has launched a tender to charter up to 14 vessels to support its upstream operations, each on three-year terms.

At least two people familiar with the tender told Upstream that the state-controlled operator earlier this month had issued tender documents for a mix of offshore support vessels (OSV), platform support vessels (PSV) and anchor-handling tug supply vessels (AHTS) that it requires across multiple categories.
