BOSTON PUTFORD

Boston Putford has been in existence for many years but in about 1998 was acquired by the American supply ship operators Seacor. All of their ships are standby vessels, or as they are more formally known "ERRVs".

Since the last review the company has gained one ship and disposed of two. 17/10/12

And at the 2014 review it appears that a further ship has gone and one has been added, but basically the fleet has become static, and so one imagines that Seacor may be investing its resources elsewhere.

At the time of the 2015 review there had been no changes to the company. Well done. one might say in the autumn of 2015.

Reviewed 29th September 2015.
