The is the Xbow platform ship Blue Power which was to become Hermit Power and now after the sale off the Hermitage company ships may become something else. This ship was built in 2013 so it is pretty new. All the company vessels were sold off at bargain prices, but in the end no matter what sort of bargain was achieved people still have to get work for the ships. It has been said by a respected commentator on the offshore industry that investment will increase next year and be back at earlier levels in 2022. Of course this is bound to be likely. The requirement for hydrocarbons has not gone  away, it has just been left in the ground for the time being.
