Oceanografia are
apparently (I only discovered them because
someone had taken a photo of one of their ships)
a large Mexican company operating construction
vessels and platform ships. Their fleet list
seems to include vessels which might actually,
in our view, belong to others. Hence the
question remains as to whether they have
chartered these ships, bareboated them or
purchased them but not bothered to change the
names.
They operate out
of the marine centre of the Mexican part of the
Gulf of Mexico, Cuidad de Carmen. There are
details on their website of only a few of the
ships, but lots of video of one or two of them
at work. We will return to this company when we
have more time, or when there are actually more
ship detail available without the need to
translate lots of words from Spanish and carry
out a lot of research.
At the latest view
even more ships on their list, some definitely
belonging to others. One or two possibly being
theirs. Perhaps they are shipowners and agents.
