Arne Blystad's OHT is bagging a slice of NOK 2.6bn ($406m) in loan guarantees provided by Norway for its huge new offshore wind farm contracts off the UK.

The Oslo-listed shipowner said subjects have now been lifted on deals to install foundations for SSE Renewables and Equinor's Dogger Bank A and B projects, following a final investment decision.

The work will be the first job for OHT's new custom-built installation ship Alfa Lift, due for delivery in late 2021 from China.
