The role of the workboat.

Workboats, especially the three-purpose workboats (AHTS), play a crucial role in Marine engineering. Their main functions include:

Towing and positioning: The three-purpose workboat can tow drilling platforms or other Marine engineering equipment and assist them in positioning and anchoring operations.

Material supply: These vessels are responsible for supplying necessary production items to the drilling platform and production platform, such as drill pipes, mud, cement, fuel oil, drilling water, etc., as well as daily necessities such as food and fresh water.

Emergency response and rescue: The three-purpose workboat can provide emergency rescue in specific situations, such as evacuating rescued people.

Environmental cleaning: They also have the ability to monitor and remove oil spills on the sea surface, and are equipped with advanced oil spill recovery systems, which can effectively handle oil spill accidents at sea.

Fire protection and Safety Assurance: Three-purpose workboats are usually equipped with fire protection systems and are capable of conducting external fire protection operations at sea to ensure the safety of offshore oil platforms.
