This ship could be able to substain Costa Concordia once upright and transfer her to a scrapping location, it's more than a rumor, they are studying it!

Since she was built in korea, she doesnt even have to travel to get her first cargo, apparently. lol

@ sjonnie
thanks,,figured that there must be a system, otherwise impossible to handle it as per COLREG at sea.
for position monitoring and stability during ops etc has to be computerised because nobody can keep track of all manually, just to much factors to be observed that anyone could calculate/asses in those rather short loading/unloading times

Thanks lappino, great picture of the maiden trip.

@captain ted: The Dockwise Vanguard will be equipped with OCTOPUS-Onboard for the purpose of motion monitoring, response prediction and heavy weather decision support during heavy cargo transportations. The vessel will also be equipped with a three sensor motion measurement set-up. In this his way multiple critical locations around the vessel can be measured and displayed on the bridge of the vessel. The OCTOPUS product line is part of Amarcon parent company ABB’s Vessel Information and Control (VICO) systems suite, which incorporates a full range of automation and advisory solutions specifically for marine applications.

The bridge is only on her stb bow/side, this enables her to take more or longer cargoes on her deck.
Some old landing crafts from the US Navy which were used later as Ro-Ro by for example Thompson Shipping had the same
I think one was named Inagua Express.
I wonder how they comply at sea with such cargoes on deck to fullfill the requirements of visibility as COLREG,s. Of course if it is done, they would have to place look outs to the stern, I doubt they do ,, Anyone knows if they have for that a camera system ?

Yes, her assymetrical bow and port side can be seen. Looks like something made of Lego bricks...
I wanted to take a better look at her, drove for 1.5 hrs to the other side of the bay, and during that time she managed to shift farther away...:)

Clearly, a ship not for Mr. DOT's review! :D
