The History of the Supply Ship catalogues the
major strands in the development of the ship type over the 50 years of its
existence. The author also provides the background to an industry that
requires technical innovation and bravery on the part of those who invest
in new ships, and extraordinary levels of seamanship on the parts of those
who sail in them.
The eleven chapters cover the chronology of
events and aspects of the work, including supplying platforms and moving
mobile units, both using traditional methods, and also the more advanced
techniques required in the deep waters of the North Atlantic, the Campos
Basin and the Gulf of Mexico.
