High-grading DOF’s AHTS fleet through vessel transactions

Friday, February 20 2026

General – AHTS Vessels

DOF Group ASA today entered into an agreement to purchase the very high-end AHTS vessels Aurora Saltfjord and Aurora Sandefjord.

The vessels are 2011-built anchor handling tug supply (AHTS) vessels featuring a bollard pull of almost 400 metric tonnes, making it among the most powerful AHTS vessels globally.

As a step to high-grade the AHTS fleet aligned with the company’s strategy, DOF has agreed to sell the AHTS vessel Skandi Laser (2010 built, 252mt bollard pull) subject to final documentation.

Aurora Sandefjord is expected to be delivered in April 2026, and Aurora Saltfjord is expected to be delivered in June/July 2026.

Skandi Laser is expected to be delivered to its new owner in May 2026. DOF will continue to have management responsibilities of Skandi Laser.
