Norway's Solstad Offshore has offloaded a laid-up veteran platform supply vessel (PSV).

The 4,587-dwt Normand Vester (built 1998) was handed over to an unnamed new owner on Wednesday, it said.

TradeWinds reported in 2015 that the ship was to be stacked as soon as it ended a contract in Brazil in June of that year.

Solstad added that the sale will not have any significant impact on its accounting or cash position.
