The life onboard an anchor handling vessel. AHTS. Life at sea!

[@engineerjono9962]

Nice looking ship, I loved working on AHTS, hard working ships hard working crew.. awesome times..

[@norway.maritime]

It’s good times onboard. AHTS is the best

[@austinhelmers]

Great video! Im taking a maritime class in high school right now and i find it really interesting, hope I work on an OSV one day!

[@norway.maritime]

Thank you. I’m glad you enjoyed the video:) good luck

[@CTR2985]

... time ago I look this ... é sonho de muitos pelo OSV ...

[@Anthony-te7lo]

I wish this had some one talking to explain. I sort of get it. I was brought here because there are 2 of these retired vessels by my house and I cruise by on my boat and it’s fascinating

[@k9killer221]

AHTs are probably the most versatile of vessels. They usually have a big crane, can carry sea containers and often ROVs on deck. Below deck: mud, grout, methanol, offload fuel - you name it.

[@jhonpiliang289]

It's good that you have a very adequate team and equipment..

[@norway.maritime]

Sure is:)⚓️

[@CTR2985]

... it is a good comment.

[@ChitranjanProphecy]

Anchor Handling is one of the most dangerous operations at sea lot of incidents ending fatal. The second most dangerous work is mooring line handling and risk of deadly snapbacks. guess what i will be joining an AHTS in a few days

[@norway.maritime]

It’s a dangerous job

[@mame6415]

Powerful ship!

[@runarhamresandvik7359]

This is so cool! You are a very lucky boy

[@norway.maritime]

Thank you:)

[@maritimmemenoffshorenist1236]

Nice!

[@mustangmike4078]

Obviously a dangerous job and I'm sure the sailors are adequately compensated because of it

[@ChitranjanProphecy]

no, in india anhor handling crew with little exp gets around 100 usd per month.

[@norway.maritime]

We have lots of experience

Man, if I were a billionaire, I wouldn't' buy a yacht; I'd buy one of these cool tugs to live on.

[@norway.maritime]

Why?😄🤷🏼‍♂️

[@Gkuljian]

@@norway.maritime You could crane your car onto the dock. You could have a tennis court on the deck. That deck could be like a front yard, with crossfit or whatever. No neighbors. I like commercial stuff. I live in a machine shop. Filling up the fuel tank might be a slight cost issue though. Like a quarter million bucks or so. But I'd be a billionaire, so...

[@norway.maritime]

@@Gkuljian true😄👏🏻 I agree with you⚓️

[@blankstares4355]

i was thinking the exact same thing the first time i watched the presentation video of the new ALP tugs

[@redleader]

It would be nice to see a DIAGRAM of the ANCHORING systems ...and also a diagram of your work....what are you guys doing? Moving/swaping/maint/ etc.

[@eamo106]

Shout out to all AHTS and PSV crews in the North Sea, I worked on BigOrange XVIII Stimulation ship in the North Sea for a while, NORWEGIAN BUILT Ulstein vessel launched in 1986 and still working. Does anyone know this 'Queen of the North Sea' ? Originally based in Montrose Scotland then Esbjerg ! Any stories welcome, I have a specific page that features her often. I also had a hand in Deepstim Norway I and II Stimulation ships built by Island Offshore , Allesund !

[@shipping5785]

Hardwork!

[@k1mAMG]

Such a large and nice vessel but what a tiny gym..

[@norway.maritime]

Yeah. The gym could have beeb bigger

[@tencents6]

I feel like anchor handling ships can also act as ocean tugs when needed.

[@akimbojimbo3763]

Most do. They're designated as AHTS vessels, "anchor handling, tug, supply" vessels. ALP Striker is a great example of that type of boat.

[@terjepedersen3026]

Hei, jeg er en pensjonert skipper som har seilt offshore 1980 - 2014. Jobber nå med å organisere et Sjøfarts og Fiskerimuseum i Tromsø. Vi åpnet juni 2022 men jobber fortsatt med utstillinger. I den forbindelse skulle jeg gjerne vist denne videoen sammen med noen andre på en skjerm i offshore avdelingen. Tenker nedlasting på en minnepenn og vi har videoer med en varighet på ca 20 min som går i loop hele dagen. Noen som kan hjelpe, gi tillatelse?

[@norway.maritime]

Hei. Det går helt fint å bruke videoen. Bare husk å få med navnet til eieren (Norway Maritime)

[@eugenetulyupa]

super!!!

[@norway.maritime]

Thank you:)

[@BLUESKY-zt1nv]

a massive wheel house yet only one person in it ....!

[@norway.maritime]

Mostly more people at the bridge

[@mubeensakharkar4369]

👍👍👍

[@ralphaverill2001]

Do AHTS vessels have exercise rooms to make sure the crew gets enough exercise?

[@norway.maritime]

Yes, we need to be in great shape⚓️💪🏻

[@ralphaverill2001]

@@norway.maritime I was tongue-in-cheek. It seems to me that the work on an AHTS is such that nobody needs to exercise.

[@norway.maritime]

@@ralphaverill2001 still need some exercise in the gym ;)

[@matthiasgraveel9191]

Does the captain operate the winche also or is that a task for someone else ?

[@norway.maritime]

Winch operator operates the winch:)

[@ChuckD59]

Great video. Thanks. How's the pay?

[@gerdacoonan7250]

Great video, very interesting thanks. How many crew does it take to operate such a vessel, or does it depend on the tasking at hand ??. Cheers.

[@norway.maritime]

Depends on the task:)

[@SIeipner]

Minimum 13, but usually 1-2 more and then there's cadets and trainees as well.

[@cocomelonfansbaseid5830]

Do you need another Anchor handling tug supply ship

[@norway.maritime]

No thanks😅

[@ahmedaguirre4556]

When you approach to the installation you do it in Full DP mode or in manual mode ?

[@norway.maritime]

Manual mode. Anchorhandling mode

[@umang5649]

Ahts vessel are good Or not? Please reply asap. As a career prospective

[@ChitranjanProphecy]

very dangerous but very adventerous work. you can end up as an NCV captain with a heavy salary pakage

[@norway.maritime]

They are good

[@S_A_M_P_R_I_T]

What is the duty of AB on AHTS?

[@jimdevlin2138]

That deck is not a place for the faint of heart or the slow of wit or reflex !!
