Maersk Supply Service has taken the decision to recycle three of its older vessels that have been laid up in Fredericia, Denmark. The three vessels, Maersk Helper, Maersk Attender and Maersk Winner, will be towed to Fornæs yard in Grenå for recycling.
“Maersk Supply Service regularly evaluates its fleet composition and the future deployment of our fleet. As we look to prioritise capital allocation, we see many more attractive investment opportunities, which better deserve our focus.
Based on this, we have concluded that recycling these three assets is the best outcome.
In so doing, we continue to take active steps towards right-sizing the supply side of the market, which the OSV industry needs for a sustainable recovery,” says COO Mark Handin.
After the sale, Maersk Supply Service will have 38 vessels in its fleet.
