The OMS Endurance set sail from Darwin for the final time on Friday 12th October, and was successfully demobilised in Batam, Indonesia on Saturday 20th October.
This is the end of an era for the OMS Endurance, having been formerly contracted under Offshore Marine Services (OMS) in 2007 to provide offshore services to PTTEP and Woodside (now NOGA) at the Montara Venture and Northern Endeavour FPSOs respectively.
The vessel had become an offshore icon in Darwin and was part of the marine landscape for the past 11 years, renowned for its service to its clients and its operational and safety performance. The Endurance had only one (1) LTE during the entire contract length. The vessel championed “Zero Harm” and the crew held this achievement proudly among their peers, having been LTI free for the last 9 years.
The vessel now returns to its owners, Marco Polo, in Batam where it will be refitted, reconditioned and then rechartered for new scopes of work within Asia.
The OMS Endurance in numbers:
- Duration of service: 11 years
- Estimated distance travelled: 245,960 nautical miles (455,517 km – much greater than the distance from Earth to the Moon)
- Bunkers transported: 89,000,000 litres (would fill 1,483,333 cars)
- Containerised cargo transported: 22,880 containers
- Offtakes supported: 105 (average offtake 300,000 barrels) = 5,008,099,793 litres of crude oil
- Crew assignment: 72 different seafarers sailed on the vessel over 11 years
