SINGAPORE (Mar 1): Kim Heng Offshore & Marine, the integrated offshore & marine (O&M) value chain services provider, says it has purchased a 6,000BHP anchor handling tug/supply (AHTS) vessel for about $0.7 million.

The vessel, named Pacific 8, will be renamed as Bridgewater 80 and join Kim Heng’s growing fleet of AHTS vessels upon being fully operational in May 2018.

Measuring 60 by 16 metres, the approximately 70 tons bollard pull AHTS will be used to perform tow services and other offshore-related activities. The group says it also aims to deploy the vessel for long term charters as and when opportunities arise.
