Massive Norwegian AHTS Ship in Action! The life of a Sailor! Operation and accommodation!

This is a video with clips from the life and operations onboard an Norwegian anchor handler vessel. Hardworking guys. The ship is one of the most powerful ship's in the world. Connecting and towing rig's in The North Sea.
Anchor Handling Tug Supply (AHTS) vessels are mainly built to handle anchors for oil rigs, tow them to location, and use them to secure the rigs in place. Many of these vessels are designed to meet the harsh conditions of the North Sea. hey also provide towing assistance during tanker loading, deepwater anchor handling, and towing of threatening objects.

[@ralphaverill2001]

Facinating processes illustrating the importance of good teamwork especially as it applies to safety. There are a lot of ways of getting hurt or killed on the afterdeck of an AHTS vessel. Thank you for not adding any background audio. The narural sounds of the procedures are better than any techno-beat audio.

[@MountainMariner]

I’ve worked on AHTS vessels in the recent past, miss that type of work. Hard, dirty work in all types of weather and seas. Much respect to anyone working on this type of vessel.

[@vihreelinja4743]

I'd hate to be wet all the time. Other then that, it looks like a fun job.

[@peterjohnston1224]

Wow - that is one nice ship!! Big, comfortable bridge with a small lounge. The Sky Lounge for the crew is a really nice touch. I worked on AH ice-breakers in Canada's arctic for many years. Setting and pulling 15-tonne Bruce anchors. Great food, great pay, good crews (mostly). It was an exciting time.

[@georgerenton965]

I see there are lots of empty seats up in the bridge, are they hiring? I could handle being the guy that orders the grub.

[@sgoheibhrin894]

​@georgerenton965 the bridge will usually have 2 officers at any 1 time. Usually a Master or Mate to drive / SDPO and a 2/O or 3/O DPO on the winch. Might be a client rep there during operations too. Usually an OOW, and lookout at night when transiting / towing

[@mond000]

Loved this! It's a real peak into life at sea, and the heavy equipment was huge.

[@ykph5188]

Worked on one rig for many years ....doing anchor and rig moves ...the guys on anchor handlers have it harder than we had ... especially in the N.Sea...

[@russandh]

Tough job undertaken by professional guys. I worked offshore for 25yrs, the last 4 of which was on a Norwegian heavy construction vessel, manned by Norwegian marine crew. Apart from Kumla on Thursday which was rank, it was an excellent vessel and they were all great guys who were good at their jobs. It was a pleasure to work with them. I do miss that Snuse though.

[@jasonmoyer9492]

i worked offshore for 25 years myself. i was a welder/millrite/ pipe fitter and i miss the job and the great money i made. after i got out of the army i used my GI Bill for welding school. 2y ears later i got lucky and was able to get a job working on offshore rigs in the gulf of mexico and the north sea. i was 24 when i got the job and making that kind of money at that age made me a very hardworking person. i wanted to retire by 50 and not 70. pulled it off too. now 25 years later i have way more free time to bang me wife 33 years

[@calculus77]

My only real experience of the seas is on Finnish cruiseferries. 😅 (Can get quite rough on the Baltic sea during a storm, too.) I really appreciate the professionalism you show here. There are tremendous forces at work, and it shows you have safety as priority. 👍Of course, working with heavy machinery is never totally risk-free. The ship looks nice and comfortable, your home away from home. 🙂

I used to be a USN officer in deck ops (1st Lieutenant/1st Division). I LOVE WATCHING THIS VIDEO. A huge difference is that for all night ops we would have a chemlight on our kapok vest.

[@jmyers9853]

i went from a deck officer to an offshore AHTS captain. the Navy crews were beginners at seamanship compared with offshore work.

[@jarroyolaw]

The afterdeck of an AHTS vessel probably has more ways for a seaman to get seriously hurt or killed than anyplace else; land or sea. Good teamwork means everyone goes home alive and in one piece.
