The future


Seabulk Condor - 2005

In 2000 the ship changed owner and name once again and today Seabulk Condor is owned by Seabulk Offshore UK Ltd.

The ship's current owners have had it operating in a number of places: in the North Sea and north Atlantic, in the Middle East and off the coast of West Africa. From December 2000 until March 2005 the ship was in service with the British Ministry of Defence in the Falkland Islands.

"The machinery has proved both strong and stable, which is particularly important when operating in remote areas such as this," says Paul Gasser, technical director of Seabulk Offshore, who explains that the ship has been modified and refitted a number of times. "A key improvement was the installation of a fire-extinguishing system. The ship is also equipped to assist during various kinds of rescue operations, with lifeboats and an extra bow thrusters," he adds.

The ship's next major inspection will be in December 2009. Paul Gasser thinks that Seabulk Condor still has some useful years left in her. "In today's market I think it is possible to get good contracts for her, particularly in view of the equipment improvements that have been made on board. But the fleet is being renewed and Seabulk Condor will eventually be phased out." he concludes.
