Siem Offshore has announced a series of contracts that will provide the company with more than 1,200 days of employment.

The new deals for the Oslo-listed company will see some of its anchor-handlers, platform supply vessels (PSVs) and offshore support construction vessels (OSCVs) mobilised worldwide.

BHP Billiton has fixed the 27,464-bhp anchor-handlers Siem Aquamarine and Siem Topaz (both built 2010) to support drilling operations for 240 days.
