Sorry, its 312, 500 tonnes dead weight. With 22, 000 tonnes of equpment on board. its 90, 000 tonnes light ship weight. (i think)
Yeah shell had it comissioned to be built to do all the work in their field off the Niger Delta.
Interesting multi-role vessel then - even if a bit smaller than the 1300Ft 1/2inch length overall (the 1/2" is most important of course!) ulcc I was on. Can't remember the beam I'm afraid, should have made more notes at the time!
Missed the piracy programme - having suffered with the b*stards in more than one location I can visualise some of it anyway. Mind, the Nigerian security guards weren't much safer!
