Vigeo Shipping Limited is a wholly owned Nigerian shipping company operating in the deepwater vessel segment of the Nigerian Oil & Gas industry since August 2004 with the aim to change the face of indigenous participation in the offshore support vessel business.
The Company commenced operation in a Joint Venture (JV) with Farstad ASA of Norway, one of the biggest providers of deep offshore assets. This JV led to the development of VigeoFarstad with 60% ownership by Vigeo.
In the course of the life of the JV, the company operated M/V Lady Margaret, an 8850BHP Anchor Handling Tug Supply (AHTS) and Lady Melinda, a 2750 DWT Platform Supply Vessel which were engaged by SNEPCO to support Bonga FPSO operations.
In 2007, Vigeo took the decision to buy out the 40% Farstad interest along with the acquisition of the vessel "Lady Margaret"now "Vigeo Olufunke". Presently she is engaged on the Bonga field.
The company anticipates to deploy an additional six (6) modern deep offshore assets to cater for the needs of the Nigerian Oil & Gas operations as it fulfills the objectives of the recently enacted Nigerian Content Act.
