OCEAN GARNET

The OCEAN GARNET is an Anchor Handling Tug Supply (AHTS) vessel built in 2007, designed for offshore support operations such as towing, anchor handling, and supply duties. With a deadweight tonnage of 2,394 tonnes and a length overall (LOA) of 67.4 meters, the vessel is capable of operating in various offshore environments, particularly in the Indian maritime region. The vessel's construction by Bharati Shipyard Ltd indicates a focus on robust design for demanding tasks in support of offshore oil and gas activities.

Current AIS data indicates that the OCEAN GARNET is moving at a very slow speed of 0.1 knots, which may suggest it is either moored or preparing for a repositioning voyage. The destination is noted as DELTA with an ETA of January 30, indicating a planned operational commitment. The exact draft utilization is unknown, which could affect operational readiness and efficiency upon arrival.

The OCEAN GARNET’s trading status and operational profile make it suitable for charterers focused on offshore supply and support activities, particularly in regions with emerging oil and gas exploration. Brokers should consider the vessel's capabilities in relation to current market demand for AHTS vessels, especially in India, where offshore activities are likely to increase. The vessel's relatively low deadweight may limit its cargo capacity, but its operational design is well-suited for specific offshore tasks.

With a deadweight tonnage of 2,394 tonnes and a gross tonnage of 2,072 tonnes, the OCEAN GARNET's specifications are relevant for brokers assessing cargo capacity and operational limits. The geared drive propulsion system is advantageous for maneuverability in tight offshore locations. However, the lack of detailed engine specifications limits the assessment of fuel efficiency and operational speed, which are critical for chartering decisions.
