We at Baird Maritime once again highlight the important offshore industry and the vessels and technology that comprise the industry. Interestingly, all but one of this week's reviewed vessels were built and are being operated in Asia, indicating that this region is also a hive of offshore activity similar to Europe, the Middle East, and South America.
The lineup of reviewed workboats covers the construction and maintenance sectors of the industry. China is placing new crewboats into service, and this number includes a vessel with a notable SWATH design for greater operational flexibility. Japan has meanwhile introduced a new jackup vessel with a significant transport and installation capacity, making it ideal for windfarm construction even in the extreme conditions of the Pacific.
Continue to visit Baird Maritime as we look into some of the key developments happening within the global offshore industry.
