Havila Shipping ASA operates in the marine shipping sector, primarily providing offshore support services to the oil and gas industry. The company has a fleet of specialized vessels, including platform supply vessels (PSVs) and anchor handling tug supply vessels (AHTS), mainly operating in the North Sea and the Mediterranean region, which positions it to capitalize on regional offshore activities.
Havila Shipping generates revenue primarily through long-term contracts for offshore support services, leveraging its fleet of specialized vessels. The company benefits from pricing power in a tight labor market and limited vessel availability, allowing it to command higher rates during peak demand periods.
