Crew transfer vessel are vessels designed to work as large, sea-going water taxis.[1] They transport workers from shore to work-sites like oil platforms, and offshore wind farms, that could be dozens or even hundreds of kilometers offshore.

Nigeria's economy relies on offshore oil platforms. Due to civil unrest in the region the workers on those oil platforms are vulnerable to kidnap, and ransom, while on their way to and from their work-sites. Consequently, some crew transfer vessels in that region feature bullet-resistant pilot houses, and internal bullet-resistant "safe room", for passengers, and carry armed guards.
