Lauritzen Offshore plans to expand its accommodation and support vessel (ASV) fleet and is now looking for investment ally. 
The parent company J. Lauritzen has turned to private equity for the first time and teamed up with Norwegian heavyweight HitecVision.
According to industrial sources, Torben Janholt, CEO of J Lauritzen said it has not set any targets for the potential fleet, however, especially given the projected increase in drilling activity, it plans to further develop its offshore activities by investing in ASV newbuildings.
