Farstad Shipping ASA - Two vessels laid up
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Farstad Shipping has laid up PSV Far Server and PSV Far Spica due to a continued
weak offshore market. The company also has to give notice to employees.
- We are currently experiencing a very demanding offshore market. Consequently,
we have to lay up two vessels and give notice to competent employees. We regret
this. Our focus onward is to secure new contracts for our crews and vessels,
says Karl-Johan Bakken, CEO of Farstad Shipping.
A total number of approx. 35 offshore employees are given notice. Farstad
Shipping now has 3 vessels laid up.
