"BLACK MARLIN" - IMO 9186326
11/09/2018, Caland Canal, Europort, Netherlands.
A semi-submersible heavy load carrier, with the Italian owned cable laying ship 'Giulio Verne' being secured onboard for delivery to an unknown destination.
As the Giulio Verne is capable of independent worldwide travel, I wonder the purpose of this voyage.
Repair, refit or modification perhaps?
Keel laid on 23/02/1999, launched on 30/07/1999 and completed on 15/10/1999 by China Shipbuilding Corporation, Kaohsiung, Taiwan (725)
37,938 g.t. and 57,021 dwt., as:
'Black Marlin'.
