PSV (Platform Supply Vessel)

A PSV, or Platform Supply Vessel, is a specialized ship designed to support offshore oil and gas platforms. It transports essential supplies such as equipment, fuel, chemicals, and spare parts to and from the platforms. PSVs are equipped with large cargo areas, dynamic positioning systems for precise maneuvering, and cranes for handling heavy loads. Their role is critical in ensuring continuous, efficient operation of offshore installations by providing logistical support, emergency aid, and sometimes assisting in maintenance tasks. They are built to operate safely in harsh maritime environments, ensuring reliable supply chains for offshore energy production.
