Focus on Offshore Oil, Gas and Renewables Operations
OFFSHORE WEEK
Baird Maritime once again covers the offshore oil, gas, and renewables industries, particularly the capable vessels that serve these industries. This week, we look at installation vessels in service in Asia, a new cable-lay ship for a French operator, a crewboat built for UK waters, and an oil drilling rig built for the unique conditions of the Middle East.
