Another unwanted offshore support vessel is being converted to be able to remove lice from farmed salmon.

Norwegian broker Seabrokers said the 3,300-dwt platform supply vessel Smola Viking (built 2004) will become a delousing unit after work at Vard's Langsten shipyard in Norway.

The new owner of the ship is Norway's Eines, which plans to operate it in the aquaculture sector at the Lofoten and Vesteralen islands.
