Havila Shipping has cold-stacked three offshore support vessels, making dozens of seafarers redundant.

The Oslo-listed company said the 3,250-dwt Havila Fortune (built 2008), the 4,000-dwt Havila Borg (built 2009) and the 16,300-bhp Havila Mercury (built 2007) will be laid up.

This move, which will affect around 70 crew through layoffs and resignations, comes as a consequence of market conditions, the company explained.
