        DOF集团表示，为推进其高端化升级AHTS船队的战略，公司已达成协议，收购两艘2011年建造的AHTS船舶——极光·索特峡湾号与极光·桑德峡湾号。这两艘船的系柱拉力接近400吨，据称是全球功率最强的AHTS船舶之一。

 

        首艘船预计于2026年4月交付，第二艘则计划在2026年6—7月交付。

 

        这两艘船舶将显著提升公司执行水下工程的能力，在船舶运营收入之外，为水下业务板块带来可观收益。公司认为，未来数年对高端AHTS船舶有需求的项目将拥有极为强劲的市场前景。

 

        DOF集团首席执行官蒙斯·S·奥塞评论称：“通过此次交易，我们进一步巩固了DOF在高端AHTS船舶市场的领先地位。该船型是我们立足全球系泊项目领域、打造行业领导者战略的核心资产。斯卡迪·索特峡湾号与斯卡迪·桑德峡湾号将为我们向客户提供一体化海上服务增添宝贵运力。”

 

        “此前AHTS市场表现略滞后于整体水下工程船舶市场，而目前在全球多地需求旺盛的推动下，AHTS市场已出现明显回升迹象。我们已手握斯卡迪·斯堪森号2027年的项目订单，这表明客户正比以往更早锁定这类关键运力，同时我们还拥有大量适配高端AHTS船舶的潜在项目储备。”

 

       此外，DOF已同意出售2010年建造的AHTS船舶斯卡迪·激光号，该船系柱拉力为252吨，交易尚待最终文件确认。该船近期在西非执行水下工程及现货市场作业，预计于2026年5月交付新船东。

 

        DOF将继续负责斯卡迪·激光号的管理工作。本次系列交易的净投资额约为1亿美元，其中约3000万美元以现金支付，剩余部分通过现有债务融资解决。

 

        出售该船预计将在2026年第二季度实现约1200万美元的账面收益。公司船队高端化战略旨在实现收购成本与处置收入基本平衡。

 

        奥塞补充道：“继去年出售三艘小型老旧船舶后，本次船舶交易继续践行DOF船队高端化升级的战略。

 

        “我们将持续推进船队优化工作，优先处置不符合公司核心战略的船舶，目标是实现整体净投资成本的平衡。”

 

        与此同时，DOF正筹备在阿根廷启动一项海上项目，预计将投入两艘船舶作业。

The company’s quest to high-grade its AHTS fleet has led to an agreement to purchase the 2011-built AHTS Aurora Saltfjord and Aurora Sandefjord vessels, featuring a bollard pull of almost 400 metric tonnes, said to be among the most powerful AHTS vessels globally. The first vessel is expected to be delivered in April 2026, and the second AHTS is slated for delivery in June/July 2026.

 

The vessels are perceived to add significant capacity to execute subsea projects and contribute with meaningful subsea regions earnings on top of vessel earnings. The company sees very strong market outlook for projects that require high-end AHTS vessels in the years to come.

 

Mons S. Aase, CEO of DOF Group, commented: “Through these transactions, we further enhance DOF’s position as a leading player in the high-end AHTS market. This is a vessel segment which is core to our strategy of being a leading player for mooring projects globally, and Skandi Saltfjord and Skandi Sandefjord will add valuable capacity to deliver integrated offshore services to our clients.

 

“The AHTS market has lagged the broader subsea vessel market somewhat, and we now see clear signs that the AHTS market is catching up driven by strong demand across geographies. We already have project backlog for Skandi Skansen in 2027, showing that clients are securing this type of critical capacity earlier than previously, and we further see a strong pipeline of prospects that suit high-end AHTS vessels.”

 

DOF has agreed to sell the 2010-built AHTS Skandi Laser with a bollard pull of 252 metric tonnes subject to final documentation. The vessel has recently been working on a subsea project in West Africa and the spot market. This AHTS is expected to be delivered to its new owner in May 2026.

 

DOF will continue to have management responsibilities of Skandi Laser. The net investment from the transactions is approximately $100 million, of which around $30 million is expected to be cash and the rest financed with available debt funding.

 

The divestment of the vessel is anticipated to result in a gain on book value of about $12 million to be recorded in Q2 2026. The firm’s high-grading strategy aims to be net neutral with regards to acquisition costs and divestments proceeds.

 

Aase added: “Our recent vessel transactions, with the sale of three smaller and older vessels last year together with these transactions, follows our strategy of high-grading the DOF fleet.

 

“We expect to continue our fleet optimisation efforts, and will prioritise divestment of vessels that are not core to our strategy going forwards with the target to balance out the net total investment cost.”

 

Meanwhile, DOF is getting ready to begin an offshore project in Argentina, where two of its vessels are expected to work.
