JUB Pacific, an offshore marine solutions provider based in Singapore, recently announced the acquisition of an anchor handling tug and supply (AHTS) vessel. The company purchased the *Evay*, a vessel built in 2010, from Aussie Offshore Services. This specific AHTS is a DP2-rated vessel, indicating its advanced dynamic positioning capabilities, and boasts a bollard pull of 120 tonnes, signifying its substantial towing and anchor-handling power. The financial details of this transaction were not made public.
For freight forwarders and logistics professionals involved in project cargo or offshore support, this acquisition by JUB Pacific signals an expansion of available assets for specialized maritime operations. Increased fleet size and capabilities in the AHTS segment can potentially offer more options for complex project logistics, particularly those requiring heavy-duty towing, anchor handling, or supply services to offshore installations. While not directly impacting container rates, it could influence the availability and pricing of specialized vessel charters for energy and infrastructure projects in the region.
