Maersk Supply Services lays up two more ships

Maersk Supply Services has removed two AHTSs from the market. Carsten Plougmann Andersen, the firm’s ceo, declined to comment on the details. Ships are being removed from the North Sea on a daily basis, as supply is greater than demand and day rates stay unrealistically low. The two AHTSs involved will be removed at the end of the month. With the latest removal Maersk Suply Services has now taken a total of four ships from the market. The ships in question are the 2004-built Maersk Advancer and the 2008-built Maersk Assist. http://splash247.com/maersk-supply-services-lays-two-ships/

After the Swedish sail training vessel “Biscaya Av Vindalso” (MMI-No.: 265524520) issued a mayday call in the early hours on July 5, 2010, as it began taking in water in heavy seas with waves between four and six meters high 12 miles off the coast of Fraserburgh with a crew of 16 people, the rig support vessel “Maersk Advancer” assisted, and the yacht was escorted into Fraserburgh harbour at about 0500 a.m. Before, an RAF rescue helicopter had lowered pumps to the yacht which kept the level of the incoming water down.
