The Gardline Ocean Observer is a multi-role survey vessel.
Project operator Hartstead Resources expects the program to conclude in early October, pending weather downtime.
The 80.4-m vessel’s survey will help Hartshead confirm seabed and sub-seabed soil conditions and finalization of the pipeline design, and it should facilitate pipeline installation from the two field locations.
Hartshead has received bids for the EPIC contract for the two platforms.
