AUGUSTA OFFSHORE

Augusta Offshore was established in 1986, as a branch of an existing shipping and towing company. Looking at the fleet list from the turn of the century, they purchased a number of middle aged and old vessels, including the very first UT704.The company is based in Naples.

In 2008 they own a number of UT722s and at least one former early Maersk anchor-handler. According to the internet they are also into towing and have had a purpose built tug constructed. Today (August 2008) they have one anchor-handler and one platform ship under construction, which some people might consider to be commendable restraint.

Reviewed 19th September 2012.
