Citations missing article date March 2011 Offshore radio is radio broadcasting from ships or fixed maritime structures, usually in international waters . The claimed first wireless broadcast of music and speech for the purpose of entertainment was transmitted from a Royal Naval craft, the HMS Andromeda, in 1907. The broadcast was organized by a Lieutenant Quentin Crauford using the callsign QFP while the ship was anchored off Chatham in the Thames Estuary, England. The majority of offshore broadcasters have however been pirate radio stations using seaborne broadcasting as a means to circumvent national broadcasting regulations, for example the practice has been used by broadcasting organisations like the Voice of America as a means of circumventing national broadcasting regulations of other nations.

An Offshore Campus is a franchised operation that a tertiary or higher education institution creates in order to expand its operations beyond the borders of where it is mainly based, often with the bidding of the host country s government. The theory behind this idea is the provision of a tertiary institution s programs to potential students, through direct contact with the tertiary institution s own faculty and with its own facilities, rather than surrendering the responsibility to private offshore course providers who may offer courses approved by rival institutions. Setting up an Offshore Campus also allows potential students to study for an institution s program at a much lesser cost than studying in the country where the institution is located. Many American, Australian, British and Canadian tertiary institutions have used this model to expand their operations overseas, particularly in Asia and the Middle East . Additionally, the majority of programs offered are Business Related.

refimprove date March 2010 Offshore construction is the installation of structures and Pipeline transport pipeline s in a marine environment for the production and transmission of electricity , Petroleum oil and gas . Construction in the offshore environment is a difficult and dangerous activity. Construction and pre commissioning is typically performed as much as possible on land or inshore areas. To optimize the costs and risks of installing large offshore platforms, different construction strategies have been developed. One strategy is to fully construct the offshore facility inshore, and tow the installation to site floating on its own buoyancy. Bottom founded structure are lowered to the seabed by de ballasting see for instance Condeep or Cranefree , whilst FPSO floating structures are held in position with substantial Mooring watercraft mooring systems. The size of offshore lifts can be reduced by making the construction modular, with each module being constructed onshore and then lifted using a crane vessel into place onto the platform. A number of very large crane vessels were built in the 1970s which allow very large single modules weighing up to 14,000 tonnes to be fabricated and then lifted into place. Specialist floating hotel vessels known as flotel s are used to accommodate workers during the construction and hook up phases. This is a high cost activity due to the limited space and access to materials. Oil platform s are key fixed installations from which drilling ... wells.
