At night
The Stena Carron at night. Taken last week when she was tied up bunkering at the Nigg Oil Terminal, taking on 14,000 tonnes of fuel.
Yes 14,000 tonnes - but she is a thirsty beast, having six Wärtsilä 32 16-cylinder diesel engines. The engines have a combined power of over 40MW. That's a lot of lights.
The Stena Drill Max is the world's largest drill ship, with a displacement of 97,000 tonnes, an overall length of 228m and breadth of 42m, it is capable of drilling to a depth of 11,000m. It was built by Samsung Heavy Industries Co Ltd in Korea, and has been designed to operate in harsh environments such as the Norwegian and Barents Seas.
I understand that she is mobilising in the Firth ready to operate West of Shetland.
