Looking at approx 300’ Brad Darter in Tampa yard. Looks pretty new, definitely large flared bow with what looks tiny wheelhouse compared to lower decks.
Can not find anywhere online. Figure it’s either MSV or IMR, but no crane on deck that I can see.
Anybody got any ideas?
Pictures, or it didn’t happen.
Might be one of the new 312’ OSV’s. They are due to start rolling out very soon.
The new builds name is Brad Dartez at TampaShip
It just came under the Skyway, bound for Port of Tampa from Lagos, 1930 Sunday night. Odd to see an OSV in Tampa Bay.
There doing seatrials. Why is it weird to see an osv I’m Tampa. Chouest owns Tampa Ship

Because there are no OSVs running in Tampa for oilfield support. Tampa is pretty much just bulkers, tankers, and cruise ships.
… I suspect that will change in the next 10 years
And a Chouest shipyard
[QUOTE=z-drive;138019]And a Chouest shipyard[/QUOTE]Not disputing that. I remember when they bought the place. Just a basic observation; OSVs are not a regular sight in Tampa. Just because ECO owns a yard there doesn’t mean it has become Fourchon jr.And hopefully it won’t be, either
