Here is the ME303 Far Sky, back at the turn of the century one of many of the vessel type operating out of Uk ports. This one from Aberdeen. Back in the day the ME303 was one of the largest available anchor-handlers working in Europe, the first one being built in Korea as the Edda Sun, but due to some construction problems the company refused to accept it. It was subsequently purchased by Star Offshore and went to work as the Star Orion. I was captain of it for a bit and it was not the easiest ship in the world to operate.

Photo taken of the ship in Aberdeen Tidal Basin, and posted here on 4th February 2019.
