Commercial Diving was featured as a job for lovers of the outdoors to apply for by Travel and Leisure.
 
The uptick in tendering activity and contract fixtures over the past few months notwithstanding, the oil drilling industry is not in a good health. Waiting for that 'elusive' recovery for about three years, the current oilfield environment remains one of the most difficult ones. With new competitors entering the market and drilling contractors too rattled to make new investment decisions, rig owners have seen a number of their vessels get idled.
 
The International Marine Contractors Association (IMCA) has updated its ‘Guidance on Safety in Shipyards’ IMCA HSSE 032, IMCA M 221. The document provides guidance to vessel owners and operators when preparing contracts and procedures for vessel dry docking or extended maintenance periods alongside in a shipyard.
