Britoil Offshore Services has signed a multi-year agreement with Seas Geosciences to charter and convert a platform supply vessel into a geotechnical drilling ship.

The converted 3,500-dwt BOS Princess (built 2016) will be available to the market from January 2025, the companies said.

Paolo Casciotti, president of Singapore-based Seas Geosciences, said the converted vessel is being designed to serve the offshore wind industry.
