HELSINKI -- Island Offshore has ordered four remotely-controlled deck handling manipulator systems (DHMS) for two anchor-handling tug/supply (AHTS) vessels, Island Valiant and Island Vanguard, from MacGREGOR Group's offshore division.

The vessels were built by Aker Yard's Langsten facility and each feature two MacGREGOR Hydramarine cargo rail cranes, to which the new DHMS systems will be retrofitted in February 2009.
