Supply base operation is the most critical node of an offshore logistics supply chain. You would not be running an efficient and cost-effective offshore works campaign if the supply base operations are not efficiently operated. Selection of location of an onshore base is also a key critical success factor that will determine cost benefits as farther distance means higher logistics costs.
