Nice thread! I work as an Electrician on the worlds largest AHTS, we tow oil rigs around and anchor them up. Here's a picture of my ship towing a rig into Rotterdam:

Trench_Rat posted:is there a lot of down/port time on the AHTS in a four week period. I cant imagine that rigs need to moved all the time? It depends. It seems like it's either nothing to do, or too much to do. Since we're pretty sought after, we have work most of the time.

Nice weather in the North Sea today, we're in port, and the wind sensor registered 66 m/s gusts earlier today.

How are you guys in the US faring with courses and certificates? The latest for myself is a ISPS certificate... I also have a folder full of different courses and training seminars for equipment from past boats.

never happy posted:Do ships with workshops have mills in addition to lathes? How often do you actually make parts? I've never seen a mill, but every ship I've been on has had a lathe. We do make a lot of parts, but they're usually cut and welded.

ZombieLenin posted:I've got two questions for you guys. So about a month ago my 70 year old mom (and corporate executive) comes to me and asks me, because I'm a socialist so obviously know these things, if I can find a cruise for her where "they treat their people okay." Hurtigruten i Norway is the closest thing I can think of. https://www.hurtigruten.com/

B33rChiller posted:Judging from the location, what was going on at the time, and the one photo I've seen of the cylinder lying next to the ship, it appears to me that it was probably a nitrogen bottle. Or it could be one of the accumulators used in the davit hydraulics. It looks like the ones we used to use (on a Poor & Old cruises ship, sister company to Princess) for topping up the davit accumulators. My guess of nitrogen is based on the assumption that nitrogen is probably the cheapest (relatively) inert gas they could use. This is the world renowned short-armed Princess cruises we're talking about. Honestly surprised this is the first explosion around the lifeboat area of a cruise ship I've heard of. Isn't nitrogen in accumulators is the standard? On every ship I've been on we've used nitrogen for the shark jaws and other accumulators.

Humbug Scoolbus posted:Non-Maritime goon here, so that ship is designed to hoist Atlantis back to the surface? It's mainly designed for pre-setting anchors and chains for oil rigs, so that the anchoring system is ready to hook up when the rig arrives. We also do ROV suveys of the lines after they're laid down. It looks something like this when we're pre-setting anchors, doing about 0,2 knots here:
