Nice shot. Memories of a place where it’s not uncommon to sail in solid fog with a 25kt wind and a current to rival the one in Hell Gate in the East River.

There appears to be two of them, or is that some trick photography?
BTW; There is a lot of dredging work going on in the Russian Arctic. Could this have something to do with that??
Van Oord also has three pushbusters. The vessels, Buzzard, Blackbird and Kingfisher, were built in 2008 specifically for pushing sand carriers. With their propulsion capacity of 2 x 1,825 kilowatt, the pushbusters are also suitable for towing.

Luckily it has been heavy rain lately so the creek is full:

Thanks.
In the course of 79 days, more than 32 million tons of sea bottom was removed by a fleet of dredgers, most of them from Belgium and the Netherlands. Operations will continue in 2021, and ultimately more than 100 million cubic meters of frozen seabed is to be dug up and removed.
PS> The Blackbird will arrive in R’dam tomorrow. Kingfisher is already back in Moerdijk.

According to the Berge Bulk website the “sleek” accommodation block was created for minimal wind resistance to reduce bunker consumption. Interesting to say the least.

Another vessel that has returned from Russia lately:
The ex PSV Normand Tonjer can hardly be recognized after conversion:https://skipshistorie.net/Skudeneshavn/SKU100SolstadRederi/Tekster/SKU10019830100000%20NORMAND%20TONJER.htm
The new Normand Tonjer perform seismic survey by bottom node technology:
The chief is a little closer to the fun factory and I wonder if they both claim they have penthouses.

No this is NOT a super yacht, just the support vessel for the real thing. It is needed to carry all the toys that is necessary to have a good time at sea:
The 68.2-metre support vessel WAYFINDER has been delivered following her launch December 2020. Built by Astilleros Armon, WAYFINDER is the second catamaran motor yacht to be launched by her builder, following the launch of the 66.2-metre Hodor in 2019.The catamaran features an exterior designed by Incat Crowther with her interior imagined by Oliver Design. The vessel has a 14-metre beam, which affords her a 1,737 GT volume. WAYFINDER will act as the support vessel to a custom superyacht and will transport up to 200,000 litres of fuel, food supplies, a full store of toys, a helipad and hangar for a helicopter, a spare parts workshop and a rescue boat. Wayfinder is capable of storing three tenders of up-to 12-metres, as well as two small tenders on an open deck. The support vessel can accommodate up to 14 crew, 18 staff and 12 passengers on board. WAYFINDER is also home to a guest beach club, medical facilities, a flower room and a pickleball court situated on her helicopter deck. WAYFINDER sports twin MTU 16V 4000 M73L, reaching a top speed of 21 knots. Her propulsion system has been designed to reduce the vessel’s nitrogen oxide emissions to two grams per kilo-watt an hour, contributing to the vessel’s reduced emissions. Source : superyachttimes
Doesn’t EVERYBODY have one like this to support them on their sea adventures??
