NHV, March 24, 2021 - OSTEND, BELGIUM - NHV Group, a leading provider of B2B helicopter services, announced a new contract with PSE Kinsale Energy Ltd in support of its decommissioning operations in the Celtic Sea.
The transfer flights towards the Stena Spey drilling rig, about 50 km off the south coast of Cork, are expected to start in April 2021 for a duration of six to eight months.
NHV AS Denmark, NHV’s Danish branch, will be performing the contract.
