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.
At the 2014 update the
company had brought one new ship into service and
chartered it to Boa, and had two ships on order. All IRM
types.
