widest ship in the world
pretty neat - its a seismic vessel. The video shows a bit of the making of and how big this thing is.
it looks like the front end of a battle ship - but it's really a special ship for looking for oil.
its supposed to be like that because it drags drones behind it.
the caption says -
The Ramform Titan launched a new class of seismic ship that is easily the most powerful and efficient in the world.
Power, capacity and redundancy are the keys to maximimizing seismic data production. Three variable pitch propellers provide 1.8 Megawatts of power, more than sufficient to tow her enormous spread of dual-sensor recording equipment. The propulsion system permits full operations with just two propellers, and just one of the fully-separated, dual engine rooms. Two stern-launched work boats permit streamer maintenance also in marginal weather.
Ramform Titan has 24 streamer reels, 16 abreast with a further 8 in a second row. The back deck layout is augmented by six independent source array handling booms.
