VARUN SHIPPING
Varun Shipping is an Indian Company owning at the time of writing (6th February 2007) nineteen ships. Sixteen of them are deep sea vessels, Twelve are LNG carriers, one is a product tanker and in addition they own three  crude oil carriers. At the bottom of their list were, until recently, two small Japanese built anchor-handlers. Now they have added the former Boa King to the fleet, and this will soon be followed by the Boa Queen. These are a different class of vessel altogether.

Boa are apparently to retain management of the Boa King or as it is now the "Subhiksha" until further notice.
