OSLO, Norway – Dolphin Group ASA has agreed with Sanco Shipping on a five-year charter on the Sanco Swift 16-streamer seismic vessel under construction at Kleven Maritime.

With the vessel due for delivery in June 2013, Dolphin says it will acquire a streamer package to install.

Dolphin also plans to exercise an option to charter the Polar Duchess from Rieber Shipping starting in April 2012.
