CONSTANTA, Romania -- Grup Servicii Petroliere (GSP) has mobilized its construction vessel GSP Falcon to the Pechora Sea off northwest Russia for a 30-day program for Gazprom Neft Shelf.

The 153-m (502 ft.) long vessel will provide accommodation and personnel transfer services offshore Russia for 30 days during commissioning works on the Prirazlomnaya platform, with options for several extensions.
