What Crew Members Say About Dan-Cisne

In a significant move for its maritime operations, Knutsen NYK Offshore Tankers AS, a joint venture where NYK holds a 50 percent stake, has finalized an agreement to acquire three shuttle tankers from J. Lauritzen A/S. This strategic purchase includes the vessels Dan Eagle (1999, DWT: 45,000 tonnes), Dan Cisne (2011, DWT: 59,000 tonnes), and Dan Sabia (2012, DWT: 59,000 tonnes). Following the acquisition, Dan Eagle will be under a five-year time-charter for Petrobras, one of Brazil's leading oil companies. Meanwhile, Dan Cisne and Dan Sabia, which began their journeys servicing Petrobras Transporte S.A. in 2011 and 2012 respectively, will continue their 12-year contracts. With this transaction, the NYK Group's shuttle tanker fleet expands to a total of 28 vessels, enhancing its offshore business capabilities, especially in the vital transport of crude oil from both the North Sea and Brazilian waters.

In a significant transaction, Knutsen NYK Offshore has secured an en bloc purchase of vessels from Dan Sabia and Dan Eagle for a total of $65 million. This acquisition marks a strategic expansion for Knutsen NYK Offshore within the maritime industry. Details surrounding the specific vessels involved in this deal are still under wraps, but the transaction underscores the growing demand for offshore services and fleet upgrades in the current market.
