DeepOcean, an ocean services provider, has renewed its contract with Diavaz for the vessel Arbol Grande.
The vessel will provide Inspection, Maintenance, and Repair (IMR) services throughout Mexico over the next five years.
Arbol Grande is a construction and subsea vessel constructed in 2003 with specifications tailored specifically for the Mexican market.
The vessel has been used as an accommodation and topside maintenance support vessel for several IMR contracts involving saturation- and air diving, as well as other light construction support operations.

Arbol Grande is owned by DeepOcean and is part of an overall fleet of 17 vessels.
The Mexican-flagged vessel has a built-in accommodation for 199 persons and a 60Te constant tension crane, in addition to a secondary 60Te telescopic crane.
