The offshore supply and research vessel 'Deep Helder' returning to Sunderland after carrying out work on one of the offshore windfarms.

Detail of the bow of the Olympic Triton. The 'pancake head' look is not very aesthetic though the capability of supporting helicopter landings is essential to offshore work. Standing at the far end of the gantry must be quite an experience when the ship is underway though! PIP #1: The Olympic Triton berthed at Corporation Quay.

A regular visitor to Sunderland, the 'Geo Ocean III' passes Roker lighthouse on a sunny afternoon. PIP #1: The 'Geo Ocean III with the ship 'Fugro Quest' berthed at Greenwells Quay.

The 'Highland Laird' provisionally moored at Greenwells Quay. A little bit later (PIP #1) the ship was moved out of Sunderland by the three tugs 'Marksman', 'Roman' and 'MTS Valiant'. The 'Highland Laird' had been laid up for several years in the Hudson Dock and the ship was moved to Norway. Here it was refurbished, including a new paint job, and was renamed to simply 'Laird'. This became the third name of the ship having been previously known as FD Invincible.

The Geo Ocean III of GEOxyz departing the Port of Sunderland for work on the Dogger bank, likely related to offshore windfarm construction or maintenance.

The Trafalgar Sentinel moored off Sunderland. Only launched a year earlier, it has been present off the Northumberland coast for a number of weeks, but this was the first visit to Sunderland.

Spot the lighthouse! The top of Roker lighthouse blends in well amongst the superstructure of the Geo Ocean III as it arrives back into Sunderland. PIP #1: The Geo Ocean III sihouetted at dawn while berthed at Greenwells Quay.

The offshore supply vessel Wind Orca sailing past Sunderland. The jack-up 'legs' can extend up to 80 metres below the vessel, which is mainly used for offshore wind installations. The crane at the stern of the ship has a lifting capacity of 1,600 tons.
