    Great video. Was M/V Gavea "Hovering" beside the Edison Chouest? Is the M/V being helmed controlled manually? or Is there some sort automatic stabilizing and positioning system?
    I am catching up on your video posts.

      MV Gavea is the name of the ship, Edison Chouest is the company. Most platform supply vessels (PSVs, or OSVs, offshore supply vessels) have DP (dynamic positioning) to keep them in place during transfers. You have to have your DPO (dynamic positioning officer) certificate to work on these vessels as a mate/master. The drill ship is a different company, Ensco DS-5 was the name at the time. Drill ships are also on DP and the same goes for their officers aboard.

      Depending on the rig and position will depend on your interent access. If you are just a hand, good luck getting anything reliable. Bandwidth is a precious commodity.

    • @MadeleineWolczko
      @MadeleineWolczko  10 років тому +1

      Thanks :) Yea, it was generally a really good experience. Sometimes it got a little boring, but any job in this industry is going to get boring at times. The crew was great and they let me drive and work the DP system regularly.

    Funny thing to see... Here in Brazil, you can`t step on top of cargo and neither work without coverall and we have THOUSANDO of papers while doing this kind of operation because of Petrobras regulations.
    It seems like life onboard ECO is simpler on USA!

      Shure! But I'm European, I don't know if there are any Americans working on the North Sea. Maybe some on the offshore construction or offshore support vessels. You only need a strong stomach to survive winter, the weather here is horible compared with the Gulf of Mexico. On the other hand, you sail on seaworthy ships and there are a lot of career opportunities.
