Offshore Support Vessel
An Offshore Support Vessel (OSV) is a specialized ship designed to support offshore operations, particularly in the oil and gas industry. These vessels provide various services, including transporting supplies, equipment, and personnel to and from offshore platforms. They are equipped with advanced technology to handle challenging sea conditions and ensure safety during operations.
OSVs come in different types, such as Platform Supply Vessels (PSVs) and Anchor Handling Tug Supply Vessels (AHTSVs). Each type serves specific functions, like towing drilling rigs or supplying fuel and materials. Their role is crucial for the efficiency and safety of offshore activities, contributing to the overall success of projects in the maritime sector.
