Here's a question for James B (and other boat people)

[Kiltie]

Tanker(s) sitting outside Aberdeen harbour.

There's often one. Sometimes two. Occasionally three.

What are they doing there? Where have they been? Where are they going?

Thanks.

They look like shuttle tankers which are designed to take oil off FPSOs.

So, they look tankers then.

I'd expect full shuttle tankers to be heading to a port for discharge to get the cargo sold quickly. Not hanging about in the bay at Aberdeen.

I'd expect empty shuttle tankers to wait somewhere else. It's pretty straightforward for an installation with storage / offloading to forecast when they'll need a package taken.
