France’s TSM expands AHTS fleet

French offshore services provider Thomas Services Maritimes (TSM) has acquired an anchor handling tug supply vessel (AHTS) formerly operated by Compagnie Maritime Chambon.

The 2012-built Chambon Alize will be renamed TSM Alize just before it commences operational sailings with its new owners. It will support the activities of customers in the European offshore renewables market.

The DP-equipped vessel measures 45 by 13.6 metres and has a bollard pull of 58 tonnes.
