Hi Robin,
That heavy lift barge looks familiar. I think Aberdeen city hired it from Herrema when an oil rig being towed by supply boats broke free in heavy seas and ran aground onto the rocks. The three powerful tugs couldn’t get it unstuck after the storm as one of buoyancy legs were holed and it needed a heavy lift crane to raise that leg for diving teams to weld it watertight. It worked, after 3-months it resumed its journey to Malta. Best Alan
