SWISSCO HOLDINGS' offshore support vessel (OSV) business will continue to operate out of Singapore, but as a privately-owned entity separate and distinct from the listed holding company.

The chairman of Asian Strategic Turnaround Ventures Pte Ltd, Hassan Basma, told The Business Times that a buyout firm has raised US$40 million as seed funding from its anchor investors primarily for the acquisition of Swissco's OSV business.
