4th International Conference on Technology and Operation of Offshore Support Vessels was held in NUSS – The Graduate Club, National University of Singapore from 16-17 August 2011. The OSV Singapore 2011 marks another milestone reached in the last eight years as a platform for exchange of ideas for innovation and technology development for the OSV community in Singapore and all over the world.<\/p>\n
This edited book is concerned with a wide range of vessel types including anchor handling tug\/supply vessels, offshore supply vessels, multipurpose support\/supply vessels, diving support vessels, multipurpose construction vessels, pipe laying vessels, accommodation barges, crew boats, large crane vessels, etc. It will be of interest to ship designers, shipbuilders, owners & operators, drilling contractors and installation contractors for understanding future needs and challenges, as the search for hydrocarbons moves into deeper waters.<\/p>\n
