Bulker owner United Maritime is making its first foray into the offshore services segment by investing in an energy construction vessel newbuilding.
The Nasdaq-listed shipowner made the announcement as it published its second-quarter results, and also revealed that it has signed a deal to charter in an aframax tanker.
Chief executive Stamatis Tsantanis said the company had taken a minority stake in the energy construction vessel as part of its “diversified investment strategy”.
