MV Target is designed to transport complex, high-value cargo, including semi-submersible and jack-up drilling units, as well as offshore structures. She is managed by Anglo-Eastern Ship Management who provide technical and crew management.
In 2009, MV Target transported the Royal Navy ice-strengthened survey ship, HMS Endurance from the Falkland Islands to Portsmouth.[5]
