patio Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Did you catch the name of the ship ? ?I saw one on Discovery last Month...fascinating.They sink it partially to lift the rig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greengeek Posted January 18, 2009 Author Share Posted January 18, 2009 The tugs are Far Grip and Pacific Wrangler, they were regular visitors here for a few months after the rig left.We also had a jack up rig (West Triton) working off the coast but it was too far offshore for any decent photos. The tugs working with it were Pacific Battler and Pacific Valkyrie, they used our port as a base so I saw them a few times a week and got heaps of photos.
