AHTS vessels are a type of supply vessels that supply tugs and anchors to not just oil rigs but also to cargo-carrying barges. Technically, an AHTS is a very huge naval vessel, mainly because of the equipments that it carries – tugs and anchors along with the winches. 1, record 1, English, - anchor%20handling%20tug%20supply%20vessel
