PICTURE OF THE DAY 2012

Photographs of offshore support vessels in action in many parts of the world. 

A Tidewater graveyard in Batam. This is one of a number of locations in which old Tidewater ships collect to die. Third in can be seen the Star Tide and in the middle distance is the Sydney Tide which looks like one of those 1970s built Chinese ships, particularly notable for the tunnel vision experienced by the driver facing aft due to the position of the funnels. I like this ship because there are generators in the deck, and also some pot plants. Kenny says that the Anglia Service, the Oil Tempest and thre Ostertor are also in the pic.
