PETROLEUM DIRECTORY: Colville launches White Night for offshore logistics

The White Night is a high-performance work boat, named for the midnight sun of the Arctic, where Colville will station it for “bare boat” charters beginning in August.  The 32 foot customized Boulton Powerboat is specially outfitted for Arctic conditions, including the capacity to carry long-range fuel supplies onboard for its two Evinrude 250 HP outboards. 

The White Night will be used to provide offshore logistics support out of Prudhoe Bay.  It was rigged by Alaska Mining and Diving Supply of Anchorage.  President Mark Helmericks captained the boat for its maiden voyage in Cook Inlet in June.
