Farstad orders another AHTS

Farstad Supply AS, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Farstad Shipping ASA, has reached an agreement with Simek AS, Flekkefjord, for the building of an anchor handling tug supply vessel for delivery in April 2006. The vessel is of design UT 712L from Rolls-Royce Marine, which also will be a major supplier of equipment to the vessel. The newbuild is part of Farstad’s fleet renewal and is also a consequence of the sale of two older anchor handling tug supply vessels at the end of 2004.
