Cleddau.Com Oil Rig Jobs / How To Get A Job On An Offshore Oil RigDSV
Dive Support Vessels (or DSV's) are just one of a number of many types of support vessels used in the offshore industry. They come in all shapes and sizes. Some are in the form of a conventional ship, like the 'Normand Carrier' pictured on this page or they can be similar in looks, and often mistaken for, a Semi-Sub drilling rig. The hull of these vessels is basically the same as a 'semi' but they wouldn't have the drilling package, derrick etc, onboard. DSV's are used quite extensively within the oil industry to assist with subsea work on pipelines, wellheads, platform maintenance etc.

They will have decompression chambers, diving bells etc and a lot of them also carry Remote Operated Vehicles (ROVs) which are controlled from the deck of the ship and have the benefit of being able to carry out work in the water without the need for any divers to be in the water. Even with today's technology though, some jobs can still only be carried out by the human hand. Other types of support vessels include supply boats, tugs for towing rigs, pipelaying ships and barges and many other specialist vessels.
