Abstract |
Trials were carried out on different types of North Sea offshore oilfield vessels to assess their ability to form a lee and consequently their capability in rescue service or support. Results indicate that, in general, an effective lee can be formed by the most highly manoeuvrable vessels of the anchor handler/supply type and that rescue operations for occupants of Totally Enclosed Motor Propelled Survival Capsules (TEMPSCs) can be successfully made. It is recommended that masters and officers of oilfield vessels become familiar with the capability of their ship to form a lee. |
