Norway’s DOF Group ASA has completed the acquisition of Maersk Supply Service. The offshore player said on Friday that following the completion of the acquisition, the DOF Group has undergone a significant increase in scale.
The deal will see DOF operate a fleet of 78 vessels of which 65 are owned and a workforce of more than 5000 people.
The core businesses remain unchanged, DOF said on Friday.
In this transaction is not included Maersk Supply Service’s operations in Brazil and Maersk Offshore Wind.
As the company reported, DOF and MSS operations – except for Maersk Offshore Wind and MSS’s operations in Brazil which are not included in the MSS transaction – will be combined under the DOF Group and DOF brand.
Mons Aase, CEO DOF Group ASA, said “We would like to use this opportunity to welcome all our new colleagues to DOF. We very much look forward to collectively further developing the combined company as a global leading offshore service provider.”
With a multinational workforce of more than 5,000 personnel, DOF Group ASA is an international group of companies which owns and operates a fleet of offshore/subsea vessels, and engineering capacity to service both the offshore and subsea market.
