DOF cements its spot on Africa’s subsea stage with multimillion-dollar vessel job

DOF Group, a Norwegian operator and owner of a fleet of vessels for the energy and marine sectors, is gearing up for a busy start to 2027 off the coast of Africa with a multimillion-dollar assignment for its 18-year-old DP3 multi-purpose offshore construction vessel, securing just over three full months of continuous vessel utilization for deepwater installation work that expands its footprint in the region.

DOF Group has disclosed the award of a significant subsea contract with a value between $15 million and $25 million, which will be executed by the 2008-built Skandi Acergy offshore support and heavy construction vessel in Africa.

This assignment with an undisclosed company is scheduled to start in early Q1 2027 with an expected duration of approximately 100 days. The award further strengthens the European firm's position in the African subsea market and adds to its backlog for 2027.

The Norwegian shipowner will deliver project management, engineering, logistics, and offshore execution services for the transportation and installation of various subsea production systems (SPS) in deepwater field developments.
