Nice to Have

This is the Norwegian multi purpose offshore vessel 'Normand Mjolne', owned by Solstad. More or less everything what you want in serious offshore work is on board here. Rescue facilities, Dynamic Positioning, Anchor Handling capabilities, enough deck area for supply work, two ROV's. etc etc. Compared to our equipment, the captain of the Mjolne 'has it all'. But on the other hand, buying an expensive camera doesn't make you automatically a good photographer. It goes the same for ships, the crew makes the difference. To put it mildly; the Mjolne is loaded with 'nice to have's' where the Retriever is equipped with 'must have's' only. And, even despite our age, we are still a very serious competitor when it comes to the real work. Even for the Mjolne and all other Norwegian super sized vessels.
