Wagenborg and Spanish charity Proactiva Open Arms are the latest owners seeking to repurpose oil and gas offshore support vessels.
Dutch owner Wagenborg has bought one of the platform supply vessels that was taken over by banks during the collapse of Scorpio Group-backed Hermitage Offshore in 2020.
The 4,200-dwt Hermit Viking (built 2015) is the third of the 10-strong fleet since sold by lenders DNB and SEB through their Pearl Bidco ownership vehicle.
