Christian Berg's Bech Offshore is teaming up with Thailand's Beacon Offshore to buy an OSV newbuilding resale - with an Oslo listing also planned.

The 4,000-dwt high-end DP 2 MPSV is nearing completion at Vard Shipyards in Vietnam.

It was ordered in 2014 and appears to be a former ER Offshore ship, but is now owned by the yard.

Norway's Bech will take a stake in Beacon, whose shareholders will also buy into Bech to the same degree.
