Here is the veteran Seven Osprey alongside in Lerwick back in July this year. It was built in 1984 and has had several name changes during its long career. But what makes it a vessel of choice in these difficult times one might ask.

I suspect that it is working because it has a pretty advanced saturation diving system with two bells and accommodation for 18 divers. Because of the change in the manner in which subsea activities take place, and the use of ROVs, divers have been less employed in recent years, but there are still fields out there which were put in place using divers, and so they are required either to carry out maintenance on them, or to remove them.
