BP celebrated the official naming of its two new, purpose-built platform support vessels (‘PSVs’) at a ceremony in Aberdeen on Friday 27 June.
The vessels will be used to support the oil company’s operations west of Shetland.
NS Elida, which has been operating in the Region since January, and NS Iona were both commissioned by BP for an exclusive 15-year bareboat term charter. The NS Iona, which set sail from the Hyundai Mipo Dockland in Ulsan, South Korea, in late April and arrived in Aberdeen early June, will enter service this week
At the Aberdeen harbour ceremony the vessels were officially christened with good luck bestowed upon them and all who sails on them.
Mark Hardie, BP’s UK Logistics and Infrastructure Manager said: “The delivery of these two vessels completes our long term marine strategy. The PSVs – together with other redeployed vessels – will be used west of Shetland to support cargo delivery, rescue and recovery operations, oil spill response and collision risk management in the area. The capability and flexibility these vessels offer, which is not currently available from the market, is a critical component of our wider marine strategy.”
The vessels, which will be based and maintained in Aberdeen, will also bring a number of business and local benefits to the UK and Norway, with nearly 80% of the total project and operating costs being spent there. The operating and maintenance work will be locally supplied, and officers and crew will be UK and Norwegian qualified mariners.
Both vessels also have special tanks to transport chemicals required for the planned enhanced oil recovery (EOR) schemes at Schiehallion and Clair.
Trevor Garlick, Regional President for BP’s North Sea business said: “Our long term commitment to the region gives us the confidence to make major investments in vital support services. These new vessels provide us with a number of safety and commercial benefits, but also allow for the greater deployment of technology, improving our capability to recover more oil from our reservoirs – which is crucial to the future of the North Sea.”

London United route 94: Piccadilly Circus, Charles II Street - Acton Green
Approaching Old Cavendish Street (OS)
ADH1 (SN58 EOR) and ADH2 (SN58 EOS), originally allocated at Hounslow Heath (HH) for route 482 and occasionally the H91, is currently at Shepherds Bush (S) being used for route 94. It was quite a shock seeing this on the 94, trying to guess what route would use the first few Hybrids with green leaf livery when ADH1 (SN58 EOR) was in the distance on Regent Street whilst I stood at Oxford Circus.

British Rail Class 08 0-6-0 diesel electric shunter 08836 at Ongar Station on the heritage Epping Ongar Railway (EOR) in Essex (UK).
08836 entered service as D4004 on November 11th 1960 and remains in service some 55 years later at Old Oak Common Traction and Rolling Stock Maintenance Depot (2015).
08836 was a guest locomotive at the EOR courtesy of First Great Western Ltd.
The 08 (09/10/11) shunter 0-6-0 design was based on the LMS Class D3/7 shunter of 1939 and LMS 12033 shunter series for the war department in early 1945 so it's safe to assume the basic body design you see here dates from the late 1930s.
As the last colorful rays of daylight disappear behind the White Tank mountains and darkness envelopes the “valley of the sun”, night training operations begin at Luke Air Force Base (AFB).
One by one, F-16 Fighting Falcons taxi to the end of runway (EOR) control area where final safety checks are performed prior to the Viper’s departing on their nocturnal missions.
The men and women performing these checks (Airmen) appear like apparitions from the darkness and silently execute a choreographed sequence of inspections. Flashlights pierce the darkness; illuminating areas of specific interest. Communications consist of practiced hand gestures that ignore the loud whine of the F-16‘s after-burning turbo fan engine.
As quickly as they appear, these ghostlike phantoms disappear back into the darkness and the EOR goes silent.

Epping-Ongar Railway LT to LRT Running Day 18 February 2023. This 1975 Daimler CRL6 Fleetline with Park Royal body is seen recreating route 20B (Epping to Loughton) which only operated from 1965 to 1969, so never saw a Fleetline. It was mainly worked by one-person operated RFs, but after a while Saturday operation was by crewed RTs.
The EOR - Epping Ongar Railway held an 'End of Tube' event, 26-28th September 2014 in commemoration of the 20th anniversary of the closure by London Transport of the Epping to Ongar Railway. To recreate the atomsphere of the former Underground line, preservation group - Cravens Heritage Trains provided the 1960 Tube stock that was used on the last day of service 30.9.1994. As the line is no longer electrified, London Underground provided four Schoma diesels for propulsion.
The Cravens set hauled by LTE Schoma diesels No.s 3 'Claire' & 12 'Melanie' pass through the Essex Countryside with the 1245 Ongar to North Weald service on the 27.9.2014.
