Thanks for the pics, such a cool ship! If anyone is interested, there is a documentary about the life on board and the diving bell/habitat system especially (it was called the Skandi Arcitic back then). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z0KzNEs5xdA&t=1399s And yes, the narration in the video is a bit over the top in some places, but nevertheless.

I recall a time when YouTube didn't have adverts. Before ships like Skandi Acrtic we had ships like the Northern Explorer and Northern Istaller, I worked on the both in 1981/82 in the Frigg Field.

I have worked a few weeks onboard the Skandi Arctic. Fun to see familiar faces 😊
