DeepOcean Group has lined up a five-year contract extension for its 2003-built construction and subsea support vessel Arbol Grande.

Mexican offshore company Diavaz will continue to charter the Mexican-flagged vessel to perform inspection, maintenance and repair (IMR) services in Mexico, the Oslo-based subsea services provider said.

Operations will be managed out of DeepOcean’s office in the Mexican port of Ciudad del Carmen.
