OLYMPIC SHIPPING

As far as we in the UK are concerned Olympic Shipping first appeared when the Company purchased the German built ME303 Barra Supplier which became the Olympic Supplier. It now operates a small fleet of second hand and new tonnage.

The man in charge of Olympic Shipping is one Stig Remoy, and although we have no direct knowledge it might be more than co-incidence that Remoy Management no longer exists in that name. When interviewed in January 2006 Mr Remoy said that Olympic Shipping had its basis in the fishing industry. So there is just a tiny bit of history.

When the company recently announced the development of the Ulstein A122, some-one billed it as the largest anchor handler in the world. This may not be true, since it is exceeded in virtually all dimensions by the UT742s, Normand Pioneer and Normand Progress.

At the time of the update in 2012 the company is bringing into service several new vessels.
