Tiivistelmä
Offshore support vessels are specialised and extremely vital vessels in the offshore industry. They help with research, supply, transport, construction, emergencies, and anything that comes to the need for special operations. There are many constructions at sea like oil and gas platforms, wind farms, and subsea systems, but without the help of offshore support vessel services, they would not exist. Sea operations require skill and highly optimised equipment which offshore support vessels can provide. The rough weather and sea conditions do not make it any easier. This is why offshore support vessels are built to be very sophisticated and technologically advanced tools at sea. There is a variety of different types for different operations.
This research gives a familiarisation of offshore support vessels and their main types. It covers type features and purposes. A brief story of offshore support vessels’ evolution is given in the end.
