Oilfield Boats
 

I had the pleasure of touring one of the new Ulstien bow boats last
week. These giants make the anchor boats of the 90's look like toys.

Many of the new X-bow boats are sitting idle in Galveston. I'm sure
they can not afford to sit still for long, and will be heading to more
friendly oilfields soon.

If you have not seen these boats take it look.

Considering they were built in Poland, Norway, Korea , and crewed by
Norwegians, Singapore ( what ever the plural is), and Philipinos they
will probably go where ever the slave labor and subsidized oil fields
are cheepest.

What ever happened to Jones Act crews and AMerican bottoms?
Oh, ya... the REpublicans say its good for america ot have philipinos

Look for all things oil exploration and producing to heading to other
countries and real soon thanks to you stupid and ignorant 'greenies' who
voted for Obama who has as one of his highest priorities killing off any
chance of the US 'big oil' companies succeeding.

You ignorant greenies HAVE NO VIABLE alternatives to oil energy yet you are
going about destroying the domestic production of it. You also are working
hard to destroy big coal. The only thing you greenies seem to be for is big
government and big slavery for the population. Third world standard of
living is coming thanks to you cretins and your Kenyan boy, Obama.

It was, a very plush boat.

No not quite. We have many AMerican bottoms in the N.Sea, Mexico,
Africa, and just about any country that wants to send boats here. My
first oilfield gig was in the Bay of DeCampche.


What ever happened to Jones Act crews and AMerican bottoms?

Trade/Work agreements.

Oh, ya... the REpublicans say its good for america ot have philipinos
opperating vessesl in our waters. Some how it creates jobs . Just ask

It would be better to ask David Matsuda.

D'oh. Norwegian crews do not work for slave labor wages. Their wages are
good, and their working conditions and fringes benefits far exceed those
of U.S. companies. I have a friend who was a Norwegian supply ship and
oil rig worker. He sustained a serious injury on the job and when it
became obvious he wasn't going to be able to do that work in the future,
the Norwegian government paid for his re-education into another field
(he got a university degree), plus, of course, his medical care and
rehabilitation *and* a stipend to support his family.

Americans injured on the job get a pittance from workers' comp and are
put out on the trash pile.

Singaporeans is the plural, by the way.

Interesting, the comment about Singaporean crewing boats in American
waters. In Singapore nearly all work boats are crewed by Indonesians

To "Bob," Singaporeans and Indonesians are probably the same.
