Borealis Maritime offloads four platform supply vessels
UK-BASED shipping asset manager Borealis Maritime has sold four of its platform supply vessels, reports Singapore's Splash 247.
The Christoph Toepfer-led company is shipping out the 2013-built 3,500 dwt Aurora Pearl, Aurora Diamond, Aurora Emerald and Aurora Sapphire for an undisclosed sum.
The Aurora Pearl was picked up by Grupo TMM in Mexico, while the remaining trio was sold to Nigerian interests in an en bloc transaction.
All ships were initially built by Damen Shipyards Galati in Romania.
Borealis established its offshore service vehicle (OSV) unit, Aurora Offshore, in 2021.
The Norway-based business handles commercial and technical management within the PSV, AHTS and OCV segments on behalf of both Borealis and third-party owners such as Siem Offshore and Greece's Capital Offshore.
The company has also recently been linked to a transaction in the containership segment with the sale of its 2009-built 4,563 TEU Debussy to French liner giant CMA CGM for around US$31 million.
