FARSTAD

Like a number of other Norwegian ship-owners Farstad has continued to expand at a surprising rate. They have taken advantage of the world wide requirement for heavy duty tonnage and have built a number of superb vessels. Unusually they have divided their assets between Norway and UK and the British part of the company remains viable and vibrant.

Farstad have had an interest in International Offshore Services for years, and some time ago, became the owners of that company. The lady boats can now therefore generally be found in Farstad colours, but here we have left IOS separate. Farstad also own the South American company BOS Navegacao they are also addressed separately.
