Russia's Sovcomflot is redelivering a seismic survey ship to Middle East owner Polarcus.

Oslo-listed Polarcus said the 2,250-dwt Vyacheslav Tikhonov (built 2011) will return to the company from a bareboat charter towards the end of next month.

The vessel was previously named Polarcus Selma and was fixed to Sovcomflot with an option for it to be redelivered with at least 30 days' notice.
