Scotland's Fletcher Shipping has sold three platform supply vessels (PSVs) for scrap as it expands its fleet with more modern tonnage.

The 3,050-dwt FS Taurus (built 1991), the FS Pisces (built 1992) and the 4,000-dwt FS Aquarius (built 1991) are moored in Leith awaiting recycling.

Managing director Keith Fletcher told TradeWinds that another veteran ship, the 4,600-dwt FS Pegasus (built 1996), is in layup, but is being marketed for sale.
