DOF Rederi Is Divesting One of Its Platform Supply Vessels (PSVs), with Delivery of the Vessel After Long-Term Contract with Subsea7.
DOF Rederi, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Norwegian shipowner DOF Group, is currently in the process of divesting one of its platform supply vessels (PSVs).
The company announced that it was negotiating the sale of the PSV Skandi Captain, a medium-sized vessel built in 2004, to an undisclosed international buyer.
The delivery of the vessel is scheduled for Q1 2024. DOF expects the sale to have ‘a positive accounting effect’.
