Seacontractors is pleased to announce the acquisition of the vessels Skandi Tender and Skandi Trader from DOF Group ASA. The vessels will be renamed Sea Banckert and Sea Evertsen and will be reflagged under the Dutch flag, with delivery expected to take place in September 2025.
This acquisition marks another important step in Seacontractors’ growth strategy and reflects the company’s sharpened focus on larger tonnage ranging from 70 to 200 ton bollard pull vessels. Following the successful addition of the Sea Seraya and Sea Sentosa, both 120 ton bollard pull, this investment further strengthens the fleet. With bollard pull capacities of up to 175 tons, the Sea Banckert and Sea Evertsen will enhance the company’s capabilities across the fields of deep-sea anchor handling, terminal towage, deep-sea/coastal towage and EPCI project assistance.
“We are proud to welcome Sea Banckert and Sea Evertsen into our fleet,” said Xander Schanssema, owner of Seacontractors. “These vessels are a strategic addition that fit our ambition to handle larger and more complex projects with the flexibility and reliability Seacontractors is known for.”
With experience in over 95 countries and a growing fleet of high-capacity vessels, Seacontractors remains one of the world’s leading maritime service providers. The expansion supports the company’s long-term mission to deliver safe, efficient in support of towage and offshore operations worldwide.
