HUAWEI OFFSHORE

According to the trade press Huawei Offshore is a Hong Hong based company operating eleven anchor-handlers and a larger number of platform ships. However, none of our usual sources of information identify it at all. The company has recently been in the news due to the purchase of some ME 303s from Trico (Feb 2010).

At the 2013 review two ships have been added due to internet information.
