Oslo-listed Havila Shipping’s latest period charter of a platform supply vessel (PSV) this week has allowed the owner to use a developing new segment for specialised vessels to earn a premium day rate for 12 months and, at the same time, to reduce its exposure to the crowded North Sea spot market for PSVs.
Havila’s 3,250-dwt PSV Havila Fortune (built 2009) is entering the niche walk-to-work (W2W) segment for Maersk Oil & Gas (MOG) and will start off in August in the Danish sector of the North Sea.
