India's Samson Maritime has reportedly bought an anchor-handler from compatriot GOL Offshore.

Brokers said the 80-bp Malaviya Twenty Eight (built 2007) has gone for an undisclosed price.

Samson was operating the ship in its fleet before the sale.

Last year, GOL hit the headlines when the ITF union had its platform supply vessel (PSV) Malaviya Seven (4,750-dwt, built 1994) held in Aberdeen.
