With the stream of exotica still appearing in the media despite the low oil price and the resulting downturn on the offshore business, we tend to forget the workhorses which have been the backbone of supply operations for years. One of these types is the VS470 MkII of which the Troms Fjord is one. This ship entered service in 2005 for Troms Offshore, although since then the whole organisation has been bought by Tidewater.
