- Anchor Handling, Towing & Supply
Anchor Handling, Towing and Supply (AHTS) vessels set anchors for drilling rigs and tow mobile drilling rigs and equipment from one location to another. Our AHTS vessels can also be used in supply roles and for specialty operations where they support a variety of non-traditional requirements.
- Construction Support
Pipe-laying barges, diving support vessels, pipe carriers and other vessels designed to transport large cargos of material and supplies support the construction and installation of offshore platforms and pipelines. Many of GulfMark’s Large PSVs also function as pipe carriers.
- Fast Support/Crewboats
Our modern Crewboats and Fast Supply Vessels (FSVs) are larger and have greater cargo-carrying capacity than traditional crewboats. Although they are used primarily in deepwater activities to support drilling and complex logistics operations, our FSVs are equally at home when dedicated to shallower water production and drilling support roles.
- Platform Supply
With substantial cargo-handling capabilities, Platform Supply Vessels (PSVs) transport fuel, water, drilling fluids, equipment and provisions to offshore facilities. PSVs support drilling and production operations as well as offshore construction and maintenance. The majority of GulfMark’s Large PSVs are also capable of supporting construction services, subsea projects and other specialty applications.
- Specialty Services
GulfMark supports a variety of client activities through purpose-built specialty vessels (SpVs) and ships that are modified for specific purposes. Our SpVs include vessels that specialize in subsea support, construction support, ROV operations, standby/rescue, seismic support and other non-traditional roles. Many of our core PSV and AHTS vessels can be easily modified to address specialized, non-traditional requirements.
- Standby Rescue
Equipped to provide personnel rescue, first aid and shelter, Standby Rescue (Stby) vessels perform a safety patrol function that is required for all manned locations in the North Sea and in some other oil-producing areas. Stby vessels typically remain on station to provide a safety backup to offshore rigs and production facilities. In some cases, they also function as support vessels.
