Work boats are a very useful tool to help facilitate the maintenance and construction of offshore structures and can be used in many different ways. It is vital that they are of good quality and well equipped to ensure that the project they are being used for runs smoothly.

Work boats are easy to maneuver vessels that assist in other jobs or projects. Some examples of their uses include: helping with scientific expeditions by deploying or recovering equipment used at sea; ferrying crews either between ships or from ships to the shore; transporting salvaged material from distressed ships to stable ships or the shore, and supporting diving or any sort of underwater operation. They may also be used for law enforcement on the water and can be commissioned by the municipality of a region.

The safety and risk level of a work boat is determined by the nature of the task it is carrying out. This could mean that you may consider taking out insurance on a work boat, depending on what it is contracted to do.

Because work boats are used for such a diverse range of operations, they come in many shapes and sizes. Cargo carriers are used to transport goods, especially when they need particular attention or are an unconventional shape. They are then used to drop off the cargo at smaller ports where it is needed.

Tug boats help guide larger vessels in and out of harbours to ensure safety and reduce the risk of collisions.

Offshore ships are ships used as a “land” base for operations out at sea. An example of this could be oil rigs where drilling is taking place. Crews need a home base and equipment to deal with disasters if they arise.

Lastly, rescue and military ships can also be considered work boats. These boats deal with emergencies at sea and are well equipped with materials used for aid, such as medical supplies, rafts and rope.
