> «Island Victory» tar over tittelen som verdens sterkeste offshoreskip. Island Offshore har sikret arbeid i 2020, og jobber med flere muligheter.

Island Victory has set a new record of bollard pull on a offshore vessel with 477 tonn, beating the 10 year old record of Far Samson.

The vessel was ordered in 2014 but because of the downturn, the vessel was not completed before now.
