The first acquisition was six AHTSs from Tidewater the same year, followed the next year by the purchase of an order of 22 newbuilding contracts from Sea Tankers Management. Two additional ships were also bought in 2006. The same year the Cyprus-registered company Deep Sea Supply Plc was created to move the companies assets from Norway to Cyprus. Deep Sea Supply is largely institutionally owned company that trades on the Oslo Bors. The largest owning interest in the company is Hemen Holdings.
