Astro Offshore is expanding its fleet portfolio with another new acquisition of a 10-year-old vessel. The company which has been serving the offshore marine industry since 2009 bought the vessel Astro Cygnus, without disclosing any financial terms about the purchase.
Astro Cygnus is a 2014-built anchor handling tug (AHT) with an LOA of 55.8m, bollard pull of 73t and a deck area of 300m2.
The company said in a social media post in LinkedIn that AHTs are still its core fleet assets, even as it expands into other areas.
The company owns and operates a fleet of anchor handling tugs (AHTs), flat top barges, multipurpose support vessels (MPSVs), and workboats.
Astro Offshore has sold recently 80% of its shares to Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone Ltd (APSEZ), marking a transformative chapter in the company’s journey.
The OSV operator in the Middle East, India, Far East Asia and Africa, Astro, has an impressive roster of tier-1 customers, APSEZ said, including NMDC, McDermott, COOEC, Larsen & Toubro and Saipem.
