A large anchor handling tug supply (AHTS) vessel that is leaving SolstadFarstad’s fleet is said to be another example of recent bank-driven transactions where ships are offloaded at prices either close to, or below, outstanding debt on the assets.

Oslo-listed SolstadFarstad last week notified investors that the 23,800-bhp AHTS vessel Far Shogun (built 2010) had been delivered to its new owners.
