Supply of the offshore terminals and oil platforms

For an efficient operation of the offshore terminals and oil platforms it is crucial that they receive regular supplies of various commodities. Some of the oil and gas companies operate depots along the sea coast, either on their own or in cooperation with other companies. The task of each of these depots is to supply a given set of offshore installations. In case of rush orders, helicopters may be used in this supply, but most often, the commodities are transported from the depot to the installations by supply vessels. As the oil industry grows and develops under increased consumption of energy and the new markets opened, thus the number of offshore installations and their needs increases. The maritime and air transport, being performed to the offshore installations, slowly but surely are separated into the special branch of the economy of developed countries. The main problem which thereby imposes is the efficient operation of the supply vessels service, from a given depot that supplies a number of oil platforms and/or offshore terminals.
