Offshore Supply Vessels (OSVs)
Offshore Supply Vessels (OSVs) are specialized ships designed to support offshore operations, primarily in the oil and gas industry. They transport supplies, equipment, and personnel to and from offshore platforms or rigs. OSVs come in various types, including anchor-handling tugs, platform supply vessels, and crew boats, each serving specific functions. These vessels are essential for ensuring that offshore operations run smoothly and safely by providing vital logistical support in often challenging marine environments. Their role is crucial for maintaining the functionality of offshore facilities and managing the resources needed for exploration and production activities.
