Awe-inspiring class of ships, especially the level of precision then they load and offload.

Wondered what took them so long to build another one after one of the original 2 sank....the another one was literally the only ship in the world capable of moving the kind of cargo that the newer rigs represented once the completed segments were shipped out.

EDIT: Dunno what I was thinking, apparently this is the one that sunk and was refitted and repaired. So there was always 3, one capsized and scrapped, and this one which was "sunk" and then repaired and returned to service.

Just curious, what is it going to be doing? I see in the pics, it appears to be attached to booms. Is it helping in corralling oil?

2 vessels of opportunity guide the booms as the tug pushes the servant in reverse where the oil is stacked up, then the weirs suck that shite up into the barge on the side where the water and oil are separated

Cool, thanks for the info. I have seen emails of some of the mighty servant's cargo, and it is very impressive.
