Jadran, Ken, good that there are already 35 shots of the Buccaneer on the site, because I do not have one....

Earlier I came across here a lighter version of "Project" ships - Thor Scan is one of them:

Jadran, four "Project" sisters existed, two of them built by Martin Jansen (americas and arabia) and two by Schichau Unterweser (Europa and Orient) They were ordered by Danish company Blaesbjerg before being taken over by Mammoet. I'll post some more shots later today.

There was at least one more sister. I think there were altogether 3 sisters of this type.
The most modern and also being the flag ship of the Dutch specialized heavy-lift company MAMMOET at that time was the M/V HAPPY BUCCANEER.
PS: bs1mrc, wrong spelling,should be written 'Project'.

She was quite a unique heavylifter of her time, with tops of the columns being able to turn increasing the revolving range of main derricks compared to traditional Stulken derrick.
