Mayo and Marianos DSVs

[Kiltie]

Are these DSVs still operational and in the North Sea?

I seem to remember the Marianos being mothballed in Leith a few years ago.

Marianos is now called mermaid commander down in Thailand it went there in 2006! I was last on it in 2011 certainly past it's best now!

Mayo is now called the PMS Mayo and was last seen in Suez according to AIS.

Mermaid Commander was working off Thailand last I saw.

Thanks Bob and James.

Although the Mayo and the Marianos don't fit the category for me, I did wonder about starting a "Unpleasant boats I have been on" thread.

• DSV Stephaniturm.
• Norlift (when it was still NOS).
• Maxita.
• Falcon (pre pipe-lay conversion).

I never had the pleasure of being on the Lowland Cavalier.

There are some vessels that most people would think of as being bad but they hold a place in my heart - mostly due to there being a good crew and a good atmosphere. Aquamarine (Ocean Tech / DSND days) and Alliance spring to mind.

I was on the Orelia in Egypt, 40+ degrees and no air-con - betty swallocks

Fond memories of the Mayo. Was my first air diving job offshore in the late 90's.
