The vessel, which is built to an Ulstein UT 705 design, has been in lay up since October 2015.
Farstad’s CEO Karl Johan Bakken told Norway’s Sunnmørsposten that the company must accept the book loss in the current depressed market, and that the sale was part of Farstad’s aim to sell off its older vessels.
Last year, Farstad sold its PSV Far Superior (built 1990) and its anchor handling tug supply (AHTS) vessels Lady Guro (built 2001) and Far Sky (built 1991).
