In connection with mating operation of the Kristin Platform in August / September 2004 we supplied two ferries, M/S "Forsand" and M/F "Sand" to construction yard Aker Stord AS.

The ferries shuttled workers to the mating site approx. 0,5n.m from shore.

In addition the ferries were used as standby safety vessels during the operation.

"Malin Viking" - a Standard North Sea barge was sold to Sweden to serve as a floating quay / storage barge.

The barge was built in 1975 and since 1988 she has served as an accommodation barge.

In 2001 the unit was converted to a regular flattop barge.

We represented the Owners in the sale and the barge was delivered Summer 2004.

In southern Denmark at the offshore windmillfarm Nysted the Norwegian civil marine construction company, Mika AS was awarded a job, where i.e. trenching and cable laying between the windmill foundations were part of the scope of work. As brokers, we supplied our client with the newbuilding multipurpose / cable lay vessel, "Fob Jr." which went directly from the yard on T/C for 9 months firm + options. In addition the multipurpose tug "Afon Goch" was chartered in as a back up / assistance vessel. The latter vessel was replaced with "Llandwyn Island", which took over because the T/C period was extended and "Afon Goch" was already committed to another job. The large backhoe dredger "Rocky" was also hired in for approx. 1 month to assist / speed up the trenching.
