PICTURE OF THE DAY 2012

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

I have been away from my desk for a few days, but I am pleased to say that I have still been receiving photographs, including this one from Paul Moar in Lerwick. The green vessel is the Tideway Rollingstone, a very modern and sophisticated rock dumping ship, lying to seaward of the aggregate delivery ship Fitnes, in Dales Voe an inlet to the North of Lerwick. The Fitness is discharging aggregates into the storage space of the rock dumper. The black structure aft of its accommodation is the storage for the delivery pipe, which combined with DP and cameras can ensure that rock is delivered to a precise spot on the seabed.
