Here are some photos from random events in daily life on the Harrier Explorer during seismic surveying offshore in the Gulf of Mexico. The pictures show: bunkering (taking on fuel) procedures, a tern another MMO found on the helipad after we had some stormy weather, some rough seas, views from the helideck, receiving a delivery from another ship's workboat and firefighting drills to prepare for helicopter transfers. Enjoy!
The crew preparing to receive the tow and bunkering lines
The bunker ship comes ahead of us and releases a tow line back to our ship
Now the crew tries to recover the tow line to bring onboard and attach to one of our big ship's bollards
Bringing the tow line on board
The bunker ship
Bringing the bunkering nozzle onboard
Unfortunately the first time the nozzle was brought on board the line it was being winched onboard with snapped and then there was some trouble getting the nozzle over the cleat the second time
...but it finally got over!
Attaching the bunkering hose
On watch in the bridge
The Ramform Viking in some not so nice seas!
Poor tern!

And the rig looks like it's on the Oceans' helideck!
