Ezra Updates

Ezra Holdings won new and renewal charter contracts worth US$77.6 million for seven offshore support and construction vessels. The charters are for periods as long as three years, excluding options for extensions.

The contracts cover the charters for five anchor handling tug supply vessels (AHTSs), 18,000-bhp Lewek Toucan, 12,240-bhp Lewek Swift, 10,000-bhp Lewek Emerald, 7,200-bhp Lewek Mallard and 5,000-bhp Lewek Ebony, as well as 4,900-bhp anchor handling tug Lewek Robin and heavy lift accommodation crane barge Lewek Chancellor.

Lewek Swift and Lewek Emerald are granted extensions on their current charters with Shell in Australia. Lewek Mallard is working for Newfield and Nippon Oil offshore Malaysia. Lewek Toucan is believed to be contracted to Shell supporting semisubmersible Atwood Falcon, while Lewek Ebony and Lewek Robin will be chartered to work for undisclosed operators. Lewek Chancellor is understood to be heading to India to work for an undisclosed operator.
