There was no shortage of bargain-hunters when three Pacific Richfield anchor handling tug supply vessels went under the hammer in Singapore last week — yet they remain unsold.

According to officials at the Sheriff of Singapore’s office, the 8,000-bhp Pacific Bronze (built 2003) attracted eight bids, while the 6,000-bhp Pacific 8 (built 2003) and Pacific 28 (built 2004) received five offers each.
