INFORMATION ABOUT THIS SITE.
The Ships and Oil website has been in
existence since 1998, predating almost all other marine websites and
most of those operated by shipowners. It consists of a number of
subsections dealing with different aspects of the marine world as it
relates to the offshore oil industry. One of the most popular areas
is picture of the day. This started off as a snap taken of vessels
coming and going and immediately put on line, but over time it has
become a feature which at best is updated a couple of times a week,
and shows photographs of offshore vessels all over the world
contributed by our visitors. The next item to be developed was Ship
Information, also using photos sent in by our contributors plus
comprehensive details picked up where-ever they are available. At
the 2014 upgrade we have started separating off the different areas,
at this moment dividing it between North Europe and the rest of the
world. Another constantly developing area has been the Features
section which now contains many thousands of words relating to marine
activities, lately concentrating on marine disasters, an area of
particular interest to the writer, and finally what started off as
News and Views, it is now going to be called the Newsletter or maybe
the Ships and Oil Newsletter. And lastly the "Publications" page
features the offshore industry books written by the compiler of this
site.
Financial support for the site, is provided by the Google ads,
which more or less cover the costs of the service provider, but this
still means that the compilation research and writing is still done
for nothing unless you choose to buy one of the very interesting and
well written books advertised. |
