Salvage company Ardent shuts down its business, according to an update on LinkedIn. The closure comes after a sale of the US business to a competitor.
Ardent sells its US business to Dutch Boskalis. The deal comes after months of persistent rumors of financial problems at the salvage company, which used to be owned by Svitzer.
Ardent denies rumors about an impending bankruptcy. However, the company's employees have been informed of "upcoming changes," CEO tells ShippingWatch.
Salvage company Ardent has a new CEO, a changed strategy and new headquarters in Europe. The firm's change of course means that around 20 employees have been dismissed, CEO Oliver Timofei tells ShippingWatch.
Salvage company Ardent has had high expectations for a billion-dollar market for decommissioning end-of-life oil platforms. But now the company has a new CEO, strategy and headquarters. Oliver Timofei, who has taken over leadership, talks about the background in an interview with ShippingWatch.
The new owners of salvage company Ardent are changing the company's strategy. The new course includes a farewell to CEO Peter Pietka. The company will also move away from decommissioning, which it has otherwise been pursuing in recent years.
Maersk-owned Svitzer and its partner Crowley Maritime Corporation have decided to sell salvage and marine company Ardent.
Ardent has now won several decommissioning contracts for drilling platforms after years of trying to get its foot in the door. "I think that many players in the oil industry have a mantra which goes 'low oil price forever'," the CEO tells ShippingWatch.
Maersk Group took an impairment on its investment in Ardent due to a significant decline in the market in 2016. But this year is going much better for the salvor, which has won its biggest job this year with vessel Kea Trader, CEO tells ShippingWatch.

The wreck of container ship Rena off the coast of New Zealand steps prominently into statistics as the second-most expensive shipwreck ever, surpassed only by the Costa Concordia incident.

Hidtil har bjærgningsindustrien normalt hentet olie op fra skibsvrag, der befandt sig op til 100 meter under overfladen. Nu skal det delvis Maersk-ejede Ardent hente olie op fra et russisk vrag, der ligger på tre kilometers dybde.
Den nye bjærgningsvirksomhed Ardent, der er en fusion af Svitzer Salvage og amerikanske Crowley Salvage, indgår nyt joint venture med sydafrikanske Subtech.
