“The aim of BWO is to invest for the future in cycle positioning so as to take advantage of buying distressed assets at significant bargains with the right value. These vessels acquired have to be in good working condition so that they can be deployed quickly to work and anticipated to produce growth for the company,” Kim Heng said in a statement.
The acquisition will grow the Bridgewater fleet to seven vessels.
