    Four workers are gathered on the deck of an offshore vessel, appearing to conduct a pre-dive or safety equipment check. One individual wearing a black wetsuit and safety harness is being assisted or inspected by a colleague in tan workwear and an orange life vest. The scene takes place on what appears to be a marine operations platform with rigging and a LARS (Launch and Recovery System) visible in the background.

    ATLANTIC OCEAN - A team assists one of the divers as he prepares to enter the water and begin work 180 feet below the surface on the tanker Coimbra wreck. The U.S. Coast Guard has contracted Resolve Marine Group to conduct a full assessment of oil remaining on the Coimbra wreck, located approximately 30 miles southeast of Shinnecock, N.Y. If substantial oil still remains, and if feasible, the Coast Guard will work with Resolve Marine Group to remove oil from the wreck in order to reduce pollution risks to the environment. The Coimbra, a British-flagged supply ship, sunk off the coast of Long Island in January 1942 when a German U-boat torpedoed it. (U.S. Coast Guard photo by Chief Warrant Officer Allyson E.T. Conroy)

    Four workers are gathered on the deck of an offshore vessel, appearing to conduct a pre-dive or safety equipment check. One individual wearing a black wetsuit and safety harness is being assisted or inspected by a colleague in tan workwear and an orange life vest. The scene takes place on what appears to be a marine operations platform with rigging and a LARS (Launch and Recovery System) visible in the background.
    An aerial view of an offshore vessel or platform deck showing workers in safety gear overseeing the deployment or retrieval of a large piece of equipment over the side into open ocean water. The deck is equipped with blue tubular railings, cables, hoses, and various industrial equipment. Workers wearing white hard hats and orange safety vests are visible near the vessel's edge.
    An offshore vessel deck is shown with a large ROV (Remotely Operated Vehicle) suspended from a blue A-frame crane/launch and recovery system (LARS) rated at SWL 9700 KG. The ROV, which appears to be a Schilling-branded heavy work-class unit, is being prepared for deployment or has just been recovered over open ocean. Yellow equipment containers marked 'ROVOP' and 'HD 69 RC' are visible on deck alongside a crew member in safety gear.
    An aerial view of the working deck of an offshore support or construction vessel at sea, showing a large articulated crane (knuckle-boom crane) extending over the stern. The deck is densely packed with equipment, containers, drums, cables, and personnel in safety gear actively working. The vessel appears to be engaged in subsea or offshore operations under clear, sunny conditions.
    Two workers in personal protective equipment are inspecting or operating a large white and orange pressurized vessel or hyperbaric chamber on the deck of an offshore vessel or platform. The equipment panel is open, revealing gauges, valves, and control systems. The setting appears to be an industrial marine environment under clear blue skies.
    Two workers are inspecting or servicing a large pressurized vessel or hyperbaric chamber on the deck of a ship. One worker wears a U.S. Coast Guard vest and hard hat, while the other is in work clothes examining the open equipment panel. The scene takes place on a vessel deck in clear daylight conditions.
    Workers wearing orange high-visibility suits and white hard hats labeled 'Resolve' are working on a vessel or barge deck surrounded by red shipping containers. A heavily corroded and rusted metal plate with multiple bolt holes is laid out on the wooden deck in the foreground. Tools including wrenches and hydraulic hoses are visible nearby, suggesting a salvage or marine recovery operation.
    Two cylindrical metal tubes with orange end caps and large hexagonal metal fittings are laid on a dark work surface, likely on an industrial or offshore vessel deck. The tubes appear to be pressure vessels, core sample liners, or hydraulic cylinders used in drilling or subsea operations. The surrounding environment shows heavy industrial equipment, chains, and safety signage consistent with an offshore drilling platform.
    A medium-sized offshore supply or construction vessel is photographed at sea under clear blue skies. The vessel features a distinctive blue, white, and pink/magenta hull livery with a white superstructure forward and a tall derrick or crane tower mounted on the aft deck. The ship appears to be stationary or slowly underway in calm, open ocean conditions.
