This is a fairly new arrival from the Vard yard in Brazil, well, claimed by my other website to have entered service in 2014. But a typical modern anchor-handler of considerable size, but acceptable horsepower and bollard pull when it comes to moving oil rigs and anchoring FPSOs. Here we should remember that big is not always beautiful. If you have 30,000 bhp available the design of the craft has to be pretty well thought out so that it does not use too much fuel when not doing anything important.
