    Currently berthed in Grimsby, this is the world's first purpose built ship for the development of offshore wind farms, it's quite a beast...

    Aye, the Germans like their impressive sea faring vessels. Let's hope nobody sinks it.

    It doesn't actually belong to Siemens, it's owned and operated by a Danish company and was built in Norway, it's a very Scandinavian effort.

    It's a bit of a gay colour. Let's hope they can manoeuvre in and out of the turbines out at sea without incident. Notoriously people with cars this colour drive badly.

    Looks like they modelled the front as a tribute to Dustin Hoffman.

    That is crying out for a face to be painted on the front bit.

    It's the equitable size ( roughly ) of a football pitch and the shape. the Allam's are rebuilding a new stadium in conjunction with H.C.C under the auspice of a Siemens mission.
