Otto Marine in $50m sale and leaseback deal
Singapore-based Otto Marine has entered into a $50m sale and leaseback deal with RY Offshore on a multi-purpose field support and ROV support vessel.

Otto will sell the offshore vessel to RY Offshore, which will in turn charter the vessel to Otto's subsidiary Go Marine.

The DP2 hybrid diesel-electric driven vessel is built at Otto's shipyard in Batam, Indonesia. The vessel will be handed over to RY Offshore upon completion of legal documentation and a final inspection, according to Otto.

Yaw Chee Siew, Otto's chairman and group ceo, owns a 29% interest in the issued and paid-up share capital of RY Offshore, with the remainder held by unrelated third parties.
