P&O Maritime Logistics adds anchor handler to fleet
P&O Maritime Logistics, a unit of Dubai-based ports and logistics giant DP World, has added an anchor handling tug and supply (AHTS) vessel to its fleet.
The vessel P&O Katara, previously named Icon Azra, has been bought from Lianson Fleet Group, until recently known as Icon Offshore, for RM30.73m ($7m).
The vessel is a Malaysian-flagged DP-1 AHTS, built in 2012, with a deadweight tonnage of 1,374 tonnes and a static bollard pull of 65 tonnes.
Prasad Narayan, CEO of P&O Maritime Logistics, said on social media that the vessel would undergo significant modifications, including the installation of a large capacity telescopic crane, a mezzanine deck, and other key offshore components.
“These upgrades will enable our Qatar end client to effectively utilise the vessel for offshore platform maintenance operations,” Narayan stated.
