The typical Offshore Supply Vessel (OSV) was evaluated to determine if the ship could be converted into a buoy tender to be used by the United States Coast Guard. Technical Analysis was made of the ship's operating and engineering capabilities. Keeping the hull form the same, the internal arrangement of the converted design was altered to meet the new design requirements of the buoy tender. The preliminary analysis shows that the OSV can be converted into a useful buoy tender with limited multi-mission capabilities. Future studies are needed to assess the risks involved. (Author)
