Monday 12 January 2015

The world’s largest vessel, Pioneering Spirit, is a platform installation/decommissioning and pipelay vessel built for the Allseas company. The vessel was built by Daewoo shipyard, South Korea, and final completion will be in Rotterdam, The Netherlands. The vessel is 124 m wide and 382 m long and is designed to remove and install oil rigs in a single lift.
