DEVELOPMENT OF THE TUG/SUPPLY VESSEL

When offshore exploration moved into deeper, more inclement areas, the supply ships had to become larger, more sophisticated and very much more powerful. This has only happened in the last eight years and the changes which have taken place in these years are noted. Some of the jobs tackled are mentioned with some notes added to describe the latest ships.
