Being onboard AHTS Assister is an all-round job where no two days are similar. Moving oil or drilling rigs, handling anchors, and supporting operation in the energy sector is just some of the many tasks our crew performs on board the good vessel Assister. Performing ROV-support, subsea cable repairs, burial of subsea assets with ploughs as well as installation and service of floating windmills is other recurring work.

Westman Islands off the South Coast of Iceland is a breathtaking place which will stick with you for the rest of your life if you ever get the chance to visit. With the sweeping picture-perfect views and the feeling of remoteness, this is a place where life seems to have stood still.

Placed a few kilometers from the mainland the island and the area experience some of the harshest offshore conditions in the world, with nothing but open sea separating the coastline from the South Pole down on a different hemisphere!  

Nevertheless, our Good Vessel “Henry P. Lading” have managed to perform eighth different offshore operations in this fantastic corner of the world over a period spanning 55 years. The “most experienced cable and pipe installation barge” in the world have hence just returned to Denmark after completing the replacement of part of the subsea power cable supplying the islands with power from the mainland.
