Norway's Eidesvik Offshore has continued the trend of selling offshore oil and gas support vessels out of their traditional markets.
The Oslo-listed offshore shipowner has offloaded the 3,500-dwt platform supply vessel Viking Athene (built 2006) to an unnamed company operating in the fish-farming sector.
Delivery took place at the end of April.
"The vessel will, after the sale, exit the North Sea supply vessel market and be utilised by the new owner as a farming service vessel," Eidesvik said.
