I've noticed some frantic tug activity around her on AIS on Saturday, went to check on her (expecting to see something attractive being loaded up), only to see that her fare was (just) a floating dock from Samsung shipyard, plus completely "in the sun", so not even possible to photograph. Oh, well... :)

Cheers

Thank you for your comments.

@Tuomas, if she was to carry that LNG tanker, that would be (to quote Tony Stark) "outlandish and fantastic"...

There are yellow lashing eyes on the forward part of the upper deck of that tanker (nothing to do with her "regular" lashing arrangement), though, that make me think that she will be towed, not carried.

As for the prospective cargo of this baby, it's even possible that it will be this little piece of floating hardware:

Than it would be even more attractive, even as I'm not sure I'll have time to document it...

Cheers

Perhaps that three-quarters-built LNG carrier?
