A Reviewer said: "It was a joy
indeed to read Victor Gibson's peerless record of the development of
the offshore supply ship."
A Canadian profession said: "After
30+ years at sea it is refreshing to read someone else who has been
there done that and is not afraid to say it the way it is." |
THE ABERDEEN HARBOUR WEBCAM
Always up to date
If you would like to see offshore
vessels on the move, alas not at oil rigs, but at least entering and
leaving one of the busiest supply ship harbours in the world this is
the place. There are eight views which can be selected, from the
harbour entrance to the river Dee. It used to be capable of of being
panned tilted and zoomed, but mindless people attempted to destroy
the motors and prevent others from looking at the ships.
PICTURE OF THE DAY
Updated approximately 3 times a week.
Picture of the Day started as a picture posted on the internet every
day taken from our office in Aberdeen. Today it is a picture of
offshore activities taken some-where in the world and sent to us by
one of our visitors. As well as looking at the picture it is well
worth browsing through the archive.
NEWS AND VIEWS
Latest update 15/6/10
This is a sometimes intermittent
monthly comment on things that are happening in the marine world.
Hopefully it is informative and sometimes amusing, and at the very
least provides an alterative view to what one might call the
"official" one. We hope that there are a few sensible words here in
a mad world.
