Middle East owner Topaz Energy & Marine has expanded its fleet with two anchor-handlers (AHTS) as it returned to profit in the third quarter.

The company said it had added a 2017-built diesel-electric AHTS renamed Topaz Mariner for deployment in Saudi Arabia.

This is a sistership of the 7,400-hp Topaz Master (built 2018), the former SK Line 905, which was acquired in the second quarter from restructuring Malaysian shipbuilder and owner Nam Cheong.
