Strange thing about operations like these is that Oceanco have an enormous amount of space on which they should easily be able to build facilities in which driving ships around on a few hundred wheels, transporting it to rotterdam where they lower it in the water at the drydock facillity of Verolme and then bring her back to Alblasserdam to finish work should no longer be neccasary.
Note the enormous underwater exhaust and the stabilizer
Here you get a clear look at the double extended bridge;
the upper one of course the one for docking, the second for her owner to have a good view on the ship and her surroundings.
I don't recall seeing this construction before.
Here's the captain of the Amevi.
His previous ship was the Rising Sun!
I actually had a beer with him on a terrass in Dordrecht; very nice and knowledgeable guy!
He was looking on a quey at a lifeboat (TP-marine rib)who were exercizing there; he asked the guys on the rib about her but got kinda brushed off by them so i tried to update the story to him, we came to talk and drank a pint.
Strange coincidence!?
Here's a nice group of people in front of Amevi;
the young guy with his girlfriend is an engineer of Oceanco and the guy walking away is one of the guys of the drawing room at Slob where the casco of this ship came from
