The most versatile vessels in the Tidewater fleet are large, powerful anchor handling towing supply vessels, capable of all types of towing, anchor handling activities, and varied subsea operations. Tidewater crews manning these ships are specially trained to run this equipment with precision and efficiency while maintaining a focus on safety at all times.
Fitted with experienced crews and state of the art technology, these AHTS’s are capable of positioning and mooring drilling rigs in virtually any location, depth or sea condition and under a wide range of conditions. With a wide range of power, sizes and capacities, these vessels are also well-suited for general offshore support services, drilling rig support functions and cargo transport assignments.
