Yes as long as there are no JA compliant WTIVs they don’t have much choice but to risk life and limbs of crews and damages to both vessels and equipment.
Anybody familiar with J/U operations know that the legs are designed for vertical load not bending and are highly susceptible to damages from any impact forces. (Luckily WTIVs have 4 or more legs, so they are less likely to topple over if one leg fail, than their 3-legged cousins)
To hold an ordinary deck cargo barge in position within crane reach and away from the legs are no easy task; Even in good conditions and with multiple ASD-tugs in attendance it is difficult.
With conventional twin-screw tugs, it is even more difficult.
With fixed pitch props and clutches it becomes almost impossible for mer mortals.
PS> From the OWFs that was reported to suffer delays it is not too far to Halifax, though.
