Much like the suggestion that SD Newton has anything to do whatsoever with seismic surveys.
The boat is a cable layer also used to deploy sonar buoys as well as act as a support vessel for the Royal Marines and for the SBS for the UK Military.
It is run by SERCO, and is nothing whatsoever to do with the oil business. Right now I believe it is here in conjunction with a military exercise and will be launching RIB's
