Kosmos and Cairn Energy are exploring for oil offshore Western Sahara, occupied by Morocco. This photo taken yesterday shows one of their supply vessels.
The images of the vessel Geo Service 1 (IMO 9621546) were shot in the harbour of Dakhla yesterday, 27 March 2017.
The vessel is one of three supply vessels that are assisting the survey ship BGP Prospector in the seismic study programme that Kosmos Energy and Cairn Energy are undertaking offshore the occupied territory. WSRW wrote on 23 March 2017 about those studies.
