offshore supply vessels
Offshore supply vessels (OSVs) are specialized ships designed to support offshore oil and gas operations. They transport supplies, equipment, and personnel to and from offshore platforms, ensuring that these facilities have the necessary resources to function effectively. OSVs come in various types, including platform supply vessels (PSVs) and anchor handling tug supply vessels (AHTS).
These vessels are equipped with advanced technology and features to handle rough sea conditions. They often have large deck spaces for cargo and can also perform tasks like towing and anchoring. OSVs play a crucial role in the offshore energy industry, contributing to the efficiency and safety of operations at sea.
