Title: Workin ' on an Oil Rig off the coast of Labuan
Post by: OceanSparx on November 02, 2013, 07:33:13 AM
Working off the coast of Labuan, Malaysia on a semi submersible drilling rig. We have alot of activity out here with other rigs and boats. A very cool FPSO (Floating Production Storage and Offloading) vessel out here along with a few other Semi Subs. Will try and upload photo if I can.

We also have a ton of Supply Ships going to and from the rigs. A Ship Spotters dream lol!

That sounds an excellent vantage point. Looking forward to seeing lots of quality photos from you.

That's a location where I have a big gap in my own collection of offshore related shipping so will be keeping an eagle eye open!!

Cheers, Dan.

Didnt bring a very good camera with me this time. Used my phone camera. But here is one of our Supply Boats called the Sea Forth. Again sorry for the quality.

just a single pick .. it is quite unfair as you must have been through many scenic views so can not deprive us from them
