Greek OSV owner Capital Offshore has acquired 50% of shares in German OSV management specialist United Offshore Support (UOS) from Hayfin Capital Management.
Completion of the transaction is subject to regulatory approvals. Upon closing, the company will operate under the new name UOS Capital.
The vessels owned by the Evangelos Marinakis-backed outfit will be under UOS Capital’s management. Capital Offshore’s newbuild PSVs and MPSVs are also expected to come under UOS Capital management as they are delivered from the shipyard during 2026 and 2027.
Upon completion of all deliveries, UOS Capital will provide full technical, crewing, and commercial management services to a combined fleet of more than 30 anchor handling, platform supply, and subsea support vessels controlled by its shareholders.
“The joint venture with Capital Offshore will allow the two companies to benefit from their highly complementary offerings, building a ship management platform with the potential for further growth and value creation,” added Andreas Povlsen, managing director and head of the maritime team at Hayfin.
