Otto Marine Limited, an offshore marine company which owns and operates a large fleet of offshore support vessels, shipyard and offers specialized offshore services, informed that the group has secured charter contracts worth approximately $404 million in the first half of 2014 (1H2014).

Backed by long term relationships with leading oil and gas companies, Otto Marine said it holds an orderbook that stood at approximately $450 million as at June 30, 2014, with an average contract tenor of 3 to 5 years.
