Norwegian shipowner Eidesvik Offshore has formed a new venture with compatriot start-up Agalas to order a fleet of new construction support vessels for subsea and offshore wind work.
One firm ship has been ordered at Turkey’s Sefine Shipyard, with four more options attached.

Talks are well underway in preparation for the next major international meeting on climate change, 28th Conference of the Parties (COP28), scheduled to begin Nov. 30 in the United Arab Emirates.
Much like last year’s COP27, finances — specifically, aid to developing nations — will be at the center of conference deliberations.
The conference faces an even greater sense of urgency brought on by the Sept. 8, 2023, release of the first global stocktake, which calls for accelerated action to meet the goals set in the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement (COP21).
