Danish shipbreaker Fornaes is to scrap another veteran offshore vessel.

It said the 400-dwt standby safety ship Putford Puffin (built 1970) arrived for recycling on 5 September.

The vessel was operated by Boston Putford Offshore Safety of the UK.

Fornaes has won a stream of offshore scrapping jobs in recent months as owners seek to deal with the dire North Sea market.
