A pair of Asian offshore construction vessels are to be auctioned in the US as a group of banks seeks to recoup debts.

Norway's Pareto Shipbrokers has been brought in to market the 7,200-dwt Caballo Maya (built 2010) and 7,000-dwt Caballo Marango (built 2012), which are linked to Singapore's Coastline Maritime.

The ships are currently laid up in Galveston, Texas.
