KNOT Offshore Partners Enhances Fleet with Strategic Vessel Swap

An announcement from KNOT Offshore Partners ( (KNOP) ) is now available.

On February 27, 2025, KNOT Offshore Partners LP announced a strategic vessel swap involving the acquisition of the 2021-built Suezmax shuttle tanker Live Knutsen and the sale of the smaller, older 2012-built Dan Sabia. This transaction, approved by the Board and independent committees, enhances the company’s fleet with a more modern vessel and secures long-term charter revenue until 2029, aligning with the company’s strategy to secure stable cash flows and improve fleet age without requiring new funding. The move is expected to strengthen KNOT’s position in the shuttle tanker market, providing value creation for stakeholders.
