Question

Could semi-submersible vessels be adapted to resupply isolated areas?

Short answer

Yes, as a broad concept; the exchange does not examine range, payload, or operational requirements.

Notes

Adapting semi-submersible vessels for isolated resupply is treated as a viable idea. The proposed craft resemble narco-sub style vessels intended to reach difficult areas. Payload, range, survivability, and coordination with other shipping are left unexplored. This remains an undeveloped logistics concept.
