Die BREMEN FIGHTER wurde seinerzeit auf der Mützelfeldt-Werft in Cuxhaven für die Hamburger Reederei Harms Bergung Transport & Heavylift GmbH & Co. KG mit weiteren Schwesterschiffen erbaut. Erbaut wurde der Schlepper in einer Zusammenarbeit zwischen der Mützelfeldtwerft und MAN / Ferrostaal. Seinerzeit wurde der gesamte Stahl bei "Ostseestaal" in Stralsund gebrannt und verformt und auf Pontons nach Cuxhaven gebracht. Hier wurden die einzelnen Bauteile zusammengeschweißt. Der Schlepper ist 48,81Meter lang, 13,8 Meter breit. Angetrieben wird er von zwei Dieselmotoren Mak/Caterpillar 9M25 mit einer Leistung von 5940 kW. Der Pfahlzug des unter Antigua-Flagge fahrenden Schleppers wird mit 104 Tonnen angegeben. Er verfügt zudem über Brandbekämpfungseinrichtungen entsprechenden "FiFi1-Vorschriften". Eingesetzt wird der Schlepper häufig bei Arbeiten an Ölförderanlagen und Windkraftanlagen im Bereich der Nordsee aber auch für Seeverschleppungen. Seit 2011 führt die URAG, heute Teil der spanischen Boluda-Towage Europe, die Befrachtung des Schleppers durch, der für die Einschiffkommanditgesellschaft AHT Bremen Fighter GmbH & Co. KG beim Amtsgericht in Bremen eingetragen ist.
Ankerziehschlepper[1] (Anchor Handling Tug, Abk.: AHT), umgangssprachlich manchmal Ankerleger genannt, stellen eine spezielle Form von Schleppern dar. Sie werden bei der Assistenz von Bohrinseln, großen Rohrlegern und bei der Verschleppung von Bohrinseln und anderen großen Offshore-Einheiten ohne eigenen Antrieb verwendet.
Der Name stammt vom „Ankerziehen“, der Ankerverlegung, die hohe Ansprüche an die Besatzung der Ankerziehschlepper stellt. Da sich die Offshore-Einheiten, wie beispielsweise die Rohrleger bei der Pipelineverlegung, an den Ankern vorwärts ziehen, haben sich die Anker sehr fest und tief in den Meeresgrund eingearbeitet. Sie müssen daher von dem kräftigen Ankerziehschlepper „herausgebrochen“ werden, damit die Anker in Fahrtrichtung verbracht und dort neu ausgeworfen werden können.
Teilweise verfügen Ankerziehschlepper auch über Transportkapazität, um Material zum Beispiel für Bohrinseln anzuliefern. Solche kombinierten Schlepper werden häufig auch Anchor Handling Tug Supply (AHTS) genannt. Der Übergang vom AHT bzw. AHTS zum Versorger ist fließend.

I forget how many times I have heard that this aircraft would be scrapped. However sadly it has now been scrapped.
The Skymonster first flew on 26 November 1969, under the US registration "N447T". The CL-44 from which it had been converted also bore this same registration, and was previously operated by the Flying Tiger Line.
Only one prototype was built. Another one was ordered, but the CL-44 on which it was to be based crashed before delivery.
In 1970, the prototype was leased by Transmeridian Air Cargo, who gave it the name "Skymonster". Despite its being renamed "Bahamas Trader" later on, the name Skymonster stuck, and it is now commonly known as this.

In 1978, it was bought by British Cargo Airlines.
In 1982, it went to HeavyLift Cargo Airlines, who re-registered it with the Irish registration EI-BND.
The aircraft went into storage in 1993, but was bought by a leasing company only two months later and leased to Buffalo Airways. According to Mikey McBryan General Manager for Buffalo Airways in Yellowknife Canada, this Buffalo Airways was a different operator and had no connection to the Canadian company.
Its next lease was to Azerbaijan Airlines in 1997, under the registration 4K-GUP.
In March 1998, it was leased to Baku Express.
In August 1998 it went to First International Airlines and was registered 9G-LCA.
In 1999, it was placed into storage, initially in the US, but then it was flown to Bournemouth Airport, UK, where it was scheduled to be scrapped.
In December 2006 the aircraft was registered in the Philippines (RP-C8023) and was being prepared for service in Australia.[3] As of March 2008, the Skymonster was still at Hurn.[4] In August 2008, it was reported that the aircraft was in the process of being scrapped,[5] however as of September this was on hold amid further rumours about donation to a museum in Germany.[6]
On 14 January 2010, Bournemouth International Airport Limited offered the aircraft for sale in The London Gazette.[7]

After a long period of storage, activity was again seen around the Skymonster during the summer of 2013.[8] In July 2013 it was registered N447FT in the United States to a Jordan Harlan Wayne.[9]
As of 18th March 2021 the Skymonster remains at Bournemouth International Airport, parked at 50°47′07.7″N 1°50′37.1″W.

Offshore installation vessel Aeolus, which was purpose-built to construct wind parks, was put into service in 2014. With a top-range crane the Aeolus can lift more than 900 tonnes. This makes the Aeolus suitable for transporting and installing foundations and wind turbines. It has an advanced jacking system. Four giant legs, each measuring 85 metres and weighing 920 tonnes, allow Aeolus to be jacked up and work in waters up to 45 metres deep.
