The PTNC-LAM-KINH a medium sized anchor-handler, typical of the offerings designed and built in the Far East, seen in Singapore. This vessel is owned by PTNC Marine which is an subsidiary of PetroVietnam the Vietnamese state oil company. According to the internet they won five other vessels. We see that the Far Fosna sold last week is on it sway to Vietnam. Could they be increasing their fleet size.
Here is the Siem Maragogi in the Santos Basin in Brazil. The ship was built in Brazil as a pollution control vessel but here is being used to deliver a buoy to the Skandi Urca. This is quite a dramatic photograph and those who are not in the business may not realise what a heart stopping business it is for the person driving the ship, having to get close enough to get under what is a pretty short jib crane.
Here is the Skandi Buchan, an MT6000 built in Norway in 2002, and at the time of the photograph in 2007 on hire to Total. If we seek it out on the internet we can see that it is still on hire to Total, and may remain so into the 2020s. It has a 900 m2 deck area and 8000 bhp available.
