'Foster Tide' New AHTS from Yuexin a worthy addition to Tidewater's elite fleet

摘要

United States-based offshore operator Tidewater Marine has received delivery of a new AHTS vessel from China's Yuexin Ocean Engineering Co. The vessel, named 'Foster Tide' is the third in a four vessel series of AHTS craft to be delivered to Tidewater, with the final vessel in the series due for delivery later this year. The four vessels will join Tidewater's fleet of over 350. This fleet is one of the largest and most prestigious in the offshore energy industry, with Tidewater claiming to have the first offshore support vessel designed specifically for the oil and gas industry, the 'Ebb Tide' launched in 1956.
