Posh-Xanadu

POSH Xanadu, the high-specification 750-pax DP3 Semi-submersible Accommodation Vessel chartered byPetrobras, crossed another major milestone in her operational history.Between April and May 2016, she attained an“Excellent” grade, scoring the maximum 100 points in Petrobras’ recent performance evaluation of subcontractors on the Health, Safety & Environment (HSE) component. The evaluation from the oil major takes into account of the operational uptime of the vessel such as gangway, crew, quality and Health, Safety & Environment (HSE) performance, as well as the satisfactory closing out of the client’s requests for improvements. This achievement further underpins POSH XANADU’s superior performance and further testifies to POSH’s commitment to service excellence and the highest operating standards. For her strong performance in terms of uptime in gangway connection and zero loss time incident (LTI), POSH XANADU had earned the nickname of “The Tick” in December 2015.
