Anyone here putter around the NAG aboard RHIBs or landing craft, especially around the ABOT oil terminal?

Would be interested to know what sort of equipment vest you use.

I use a helo aircrew's CMU33 vest and added a molle pouch with a Heed (helicopter emergency egress device) bottle just in case the craft flips. Goggles are essential because of the salt spray and glare - I use the ESS NVG profile.
