The Japanese owners of the former Seajacks International have taken their position in Eneti.
Following the Scorpio Group-backed offshore wind vessel player's $600m takeover earlier this month, Seajacks' former owners Marubeni Corp, the Innovation Network Corp of Japan (INCJ) and Mitsui OSK Lines now have a combined 38.4% stake, Securities and Exchange Commission papers show.
The document, filed on Tuesday, lists Marubeni and INCJ with the beneficial ownership of 3.3m shares each and MOL with 385,000.
The Eneti takeover was announced earlier this month, with the New York-listed company immediately gaining a foothold in the offshore wind industry with Seajacks' five jack-up wind turbine installation vessels (WTIVs).
The New York-listed company already had one WTIV under construction at South Korea's Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering, due for delivery in 2024 with a $330m price tag.
Eneti also said it was working towards construction of a Jones Act WTIV at a US shipyard with three said to be under construction.
Prior to the acquisition, Marubeni had owned 50% of Seajacks, ICNJ had 45% and MOL had 5%.
As part of the deal, Marubeni general manager Hiroshi Tachigami and ICNJ managing director Peter Niklai will join the Eneti board as it expands from eight members to 10.
In addition to the disclosure from Eneti's three new shareholders, Scorpio Services Holdings said in a separate filing that it now controlled 3.32m shares, up from 3.3m, of Eneti. But the Scorpio Group's private holding company's take had decreased from 29.3% to 18.2% due to the new shares issued as part of the Seajacks deal.
