	Port side view. This ship has 4 main engines. Two are coupled together through a gearbox driving a propellor on each side. Each propellor is of variable pitch in a Kort Nozzle, with a rudder mounted on each. She is also fitted with a 360° 'White-Gill Jet' bow thruster.
	Alongside in Stavanger Norway. The funnel marking logo is repeated on the fore part of the bridge and is a Blue anchor with curved lines coming from the top of it to represent oil gushing. we called it 'the oily anchor'. The large yellow thing behind the wheel house is an ingenious moveable half deck which allowed all the cargo or anchors there to be moved aft en masse for easier lifting by the rig's cranes.
