Cant imagine that folks plunking down $100,000 for a ticket to “space” will consider spending the first few hours of their trip on a nearly 30 year old oil field boat as “luxurious”
Sounds like someone will be able to pick this thing up for cheap once the space travel company goes bankrupt.
Not only OSVs need to be converted for reuse:
Seismic flexibility: The SW Tasman, a seismic vessel in the Shearwater GeoServices fleet, is undergoing a conversion to a deepwater dual ROV OBN deployment vessel based on conversion engineering from ULSTEIN.
Shearwater is set to introduce the SW Tasman as the geophysical company’s first dual ROV seismic vessel, equipped with a broad scope of operational capabilities. Designed to deploy ocean bottom nodes in both deep and shallow water the vessel will also be able to provide high-quality sources for surveys and conduct towed streamer surveys.
A new use for old and obsolete OSVs?:

Germany’s Bundeswehr recently bought an AHTS that was originally called the Highland Endurance (when it belonged to Gulfmark Offshore).
To be used as a salvage tug by the German armed forces. Good use of an old AHTS.
