ENSCO
MARINE |
Ensco Marine used
to be a division of Ensco International which
is, in 2009, an American company owning and
operating a large number of mobile drilling
units. Like some other drilling rig owners they
have in the past dabbled in the ownership of
offshore support vessels, and at the turn of the
century Ensco Marine operated a fleet of what
were effectively classic American supply
vessels.
At some time between 2002 and 2005 they seem to
have disposed of the whole fleet, which in 2000
consisted of four anchor-handlers and 28
platform ships, possibly to Tidewater.
A small sample
of the former fleet is detailed here for the
interest of our visitors. Obviously they should
all really be in "disposals".

Comments |
Although generally billed as an anchor-handler a broker's report
from 1989 suggests that the winch has been removed. |
