    I've been out of that business for some few years now but when there, there wasn't, seismic - yes, dive support - yes, PSV & AHTS not as far as I was aware, the reaso nbeing that at the time diesel electric was good for running but not for the stop/start/high power/low power manuoverability required for Anchor Handling or work alongside rigs/platform. Now of course may be different as abilities of engines etc increase Dynamic Positioning etc) be interesting to see
