Price volatility to facilitate the support ship at sea
Rates of transport for the business platform trailer operators still work for 140,000 pounds a day ($ 283,000), before falling to 20,000 pounds per week during the winter and increased activity in the sea due to bad weather hampered the North Sea .
Owner of strong demand and limited availability, but were forced to reduce their prices, as the boats back in the port of Aberdeen Scotland.
Offshore Shipbrokers predict more stable drivers in a marketfor offshore supply vessels this summer.
"Bad weather, no doubt, the most important factor in these fluctuations was wild.
"With the approach of summer should be less of a factor and many new buildings over the next year, expect to see some stability return to the market," he said in a monthly report.
But broker Braemar Seascope that volatility to continue for the largest ships in the area.
"This orderThe volatility is likely a function of anchoring the field of supply management pulled the biggest for 2008, since all units are relatively low, "they said in a report.
In comparison, the market for platform supply vessels more predictable and to ensure that the boats are much lower rate due to greater availability and lower operating costs. There are about six PSV rapidly in Aberdeen and one in Norway, said brokers.
This week is about hard dayrates PSV£20,000 for large vessels and £8,000 for smaller units doing cargo runs.
Anchor handlers in the spot market have been picked up at dayrates of £80,000-£120,000 this week.
At the top end of the market, Talisman booked the 2003-built Odin Viking at a rate of £120,000 per day to tow the Ocean Nomad rig.
BG Group fixed the 2007-built Island Vanguard at a dayrate of £100,000 to tow the Noble Ton van Langeveld, after being forced to cancel a contract with Solstad's 2002-built Normand Mariner due to technical problems, said Aberdeen-based brokers.
Another charter to note this week is AGR Peak picking up Gulf Offshore's 2002-built Highland Courage at a dayrate of £85,000 to move Transocean's Sedco 704 rig in the UK.

Mercury's magnetic field support for the early solar system
In 1975, the spacecraft Mariner 10 flew by Mercury by NASA at a distance of 327 km (203 miles). He wore a team that measured the planet's magnetic field. Nine years later, physicist Russell D. Humphreys predicted that the magnetic field of Mercury with the weakening of 1990 from 1.8 percent in 1975.
No space probe to Mercury was posted in 1990. Now, the Messenger probe flew by the planet closest to the solar system. Preliminary data on the magnetic field in the publicationJuly to science. The results show that Humphreys was correct - the magnetic field of Mercury is actually much lower than in 1975 to around 4 percent.
Humphrey calculations to estimate the biblical age of the solar system (about 6000 years) is founded. "My four per cent reduction in just 33 years predicted that it would be very difficult for evolutionary theories of planetary magnetic fields to explain," Dr. Humphrey writes on the site of Creation Ministries International.
"IfNASA's space program began decades ago, nobody expected the magazine to defend so strong, "said Humphreys.
Other evidence also indicate a young solar system. For example, the cycle is relatively young methanological on Saturn's moon Titan. The rain of liquid methane on Titan. Recently, researchers from Johns Hopkins University in Laurel, Maryland, examined the images sent by the Huygens space probe. They found that less Tholin, a compound of carbon,The hydrogen and nitrogen, provided that the surface of Titan, a model that considers the age of the solar system billions of years.
Another interesting fact that tells of a young solar system is the existence of short-period comets. Each time a comet orbits the Sun, it loses some of its mass and, therefore, a comet in the short term could be more than 100 000 years. Astronomers have speculated that a hypothetical line of the Oort cloud that area up to three years in the light of the flameSol is home to millions of icy comets. From time to time change these comets cold, a shorter path is closer to the sun. However, there is no evidence of monitoring for the existence of this cloud. In other words, the Oort cloud was invented, because faith is necessary for a solar age.
The weakening of the magnetic field of Mercury is added to the list the proofs of a charming young solar system.

Ernest Shackleton - the largest ever Antarctic Explorer?
Ernest Shackleton was born in 1874 in Kilkee, Co. Kildare, Ireland. He left school at sixteen, and began an apprenticeship of four years with the company on the Northwest. In 1898 he was certified as a Master Mariner in the world, with reservations, for which he received an order from a British ship worldwide. After the outbreak of the Boer War in 1899, the company moved to share Tintagel Castle, where he met aboard Cedric Llewellyn Longstaff, whose father was the most important financialSupporters of national Antarctic expedition organized at this time.
On February 17, 1901 was designated as a third official trip Scott linked to the discovery of Antarctica. Scott chose to march south to the maximum width of a peak in the south, eighty degrees was reached 17-2. However, all dogs are killed on the road, and men have suffered, they decided, after his return, Shackleton returned home aboard the rescue ship is due toits terrible condition. After his return to England, Shackleton took the head of the Royal Scottish Geographical Society Secretary in February 1907, presented his plans, the company conducted an expedition to conquer the South Pole
January 1, 1908 Nimrod left New Zealand for the Antarctic expedition was able to get in 112 miles of the pole. After his return he was knighted, and discovered he had a famous name. He returned toAntarctica in 1914, on resistance, with the intention of the whole continent. However, the Endurance became trapped in ice and was eventually defeated, the abandonment of the profession. They sailed on three lifeboats small elephant in Iceland, where Shackleton chose five friends inside and outside the larger ships of the whaling station on South Georgia, Iceland together. Surprisingly, they left, go to the station and collection point for a rescue ship. He left his finalResearch Expedition in 1921, but died of a heart attack in South Georgia before coming to Iceland to Antarctica.
