Anchor Handling Tug Supply Vessels (AHTS) are specialized ships designed to assist in the anchoring and mooring of offshore platforms and vessels. They are equipped with powerful winches and towing equipment, allowing them to handle heavy anchors and chains used in offshore operations. In addition to anchoring, AHTS vessels also supply essential materials and equipment to offshore installations. They can transport fuel, water, and other supplies, making them vital for the smooth operation of offshore oil and gas exploration and production activities. Their versatility and strength make them crucial assets in the maritime industry.
