Britoil Offshore Services is launching a newbuilding program for 6 + 2 Anchor Handling Tug (AHT) vessels, reinforcing a long-standing commitment to excellence in offshore marine operations.
With nearly four decades of anchor handling experience, these Vessels represent the next chapter in Britoil’s legacy, combining proven expertise with forward-looking innovation.
The Vessels will be built at Jiangsu Zhenjiang Shipyard in China. Jiangsu Zhenjiang Shipyard has established a strong reputation for delivering high-quality offshore support vessels and tugs, making them a trusted partner for this important initiative. With their proven track record and expertise, we are confident that this collaboration will be a successful one.
With the signing formalized on May 27, 2025, these 45-meter LOA, 80T+ bollard pull Vessels will be fit for purpose and specifically designed to meet the demanding conditions of offshore work. As EPC-focused offshore workhorses, the AHT Vessels feature enhanced propulsion systems, refined hull designs, and increased fuel-carrying capacities, delivering exceptional performance, reliability, and safety.
This initiative is a strategic move to renew Britoil’s fleet through a modern and enhanced evolution of the older Britoil AHTs. Reflecting a deliberate effort to ensure its assets are aligned with the current and future needs of the industry, this investment demonstrates Britoil’s commitment to continuously strengthening the capabilities to remain relevant as a leader in their core market segment, ensuring the company is a trusted, future-ready partner in a rapidly changing landscape.
Most importantly, this project is a direct expression of Britoil’s vision to Be Outstanding at Sea, by setting new standards in performance, safety, and operational excellence.
