Here is the ST-216 Standard Princess lying alongside Pocra Quay in Aberdeen. It used to be the Volstad Princess, but the company failed to pay its lenders back in 2016, and now seems to have reverted to operating a couple of fishing vessels. This large and powerful PSV is one of three sister ships now owned by by Standard Drilling and operate by Fletcher Shipping, another company which has risen phoenix-like from the ashes of the offshore slump.  Standard Drilling has accumulated interest in other offshore vessels over 2017.
