Offshore Support Vessels

London: The Nautical Institute, 2008. — 176 c.As the development of oil and gas fields heads in to ever deeper water and more hostile environments, there has been a dramatic rise in the demand for new vessels, equipment and technology capable of operating in this dramatic arena. The scale, complexity and innovation of the solutions required to solve the constantly evolving challenges of deepwater offshore construction are rarely paralleled in human history. Offshore Support Vessels operate in the harshest working conditions known to man and their reliability is of paramount importance to protect their crews, the environment and the infrastructure of the fields where they operate.
