Bridgewater Offshore, a joint venture between private equity interests and Kim Heng Offshore and Marine, has added two large AHTS to its fleet, acquiring them via a liquidation sale.

Kim Heng, which holds a 51% stake in Bridgewater, said late on Thursday that the 12,000-bhp anchor handlers Salveritas and Salviceroy (both built 2007) had been acquired from POSH Terasea, a joint venture between several Singaporean offshore players that is in the process of being liquidated.
