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. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QjeZP...eature=related Joe |

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 opperating vessesl in our waters. Some how it creates jobs .

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.

That must hav been fun It was, a very plush boat. 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. 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. 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 Sen John Mccain (R) It would be better to ask David Matsuda. http://www.marad.dot.gov/about_us_la..._biography.htm Joe, bob *If you have not seen these boats take it look. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QjeZP...eature=related Joe- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - |

Just ask Sen John Mccain (R) bob 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 :-0 Cheers, Bruce (bruceinbangkokatgmaildotcom) |
