A rare operational and acquisition opportunity is now open for charterers, offshore operators, energy majors, and maritime buyers. Direct from owners, two high-spec, European-built 23,500 HP DP2 Anchor Handling Tug Supply (AHTS) vessels are available for long-term charter deployment or outright purchase in the North Sea.
Delivering an exceptional 275-ton bollard pull combined with a generous 800 m² deck area, these sister vessels represent tier-one tonnage engineered for deepwater anchor handling, ultra-heavy towing, subsea support, and complex offshore logistics in the world’s most demanding marine environments.

Commercial & Operational Strengths
- Extreme Power & Capability: Featuring 23,500 HP and a massive 275 MT bollard pull, these units excel at heavy-station keeping, deepwater mooring deployment, and challenging towage operations.
- Large Deck & High POB: An 800 m² cargo deck paired with accommodation for up to 70 persons makes these vessels highly adaptable beyond standard AHTS roles—suitable for walk-to-work, field support, subsea installation, and project support.
- Redundant Positioning & Navigation: Dynamic Positioning 2 (DP2) integration coupled with RINA unrestricted navigation notations ensures seamless compliance for energy majors and harsh-environment energy projects.
- Long Survey Runway: Both vessels are maintained to high European standards, with extensive operational runway before their next Special Surveys (2028 and 2029), minimizing near-term capital expenditure and dockyard downtime.
