Heavy LIft Construction Vessel Seven Borealis
Discussion
Evening all,
I thought I'd ask here as quite a few folk either work offshore or are quite knowledgeable about shipping.
So I moved to Cyprus about four months ago and there is a fantastic variety of shipping in and out of Limassol or at anchor just off the coast. It's a forever changing scene apart from one ship, Seven Borealis.
It hasn't moved in at least four months and if marine traffic is right, its been there since the start of January! Over six months without working.
Is it down to a lack of work, too many vessels with a similar capability? Surely it must be costing thousands, if not millions to have had it laid up for so long? It's been built to an incredible spec, 5000T crane etc.
Anyone know why it's been laid up for so long and is it normal?
