For a small, open, floating drydock, a traditional arrangement would likely be preferred. If a stationary and fully enclosed dock is desired then lifting is the better way to go.

Length/Beam is quite high, I think a small bow thruster is appropriate.

The reality of dams is you can't shut them off forever.

This is a photo with the spillways open. That is only done when the dam is too full.

Are they stopping in the Med for NEST along the way?

On large passenger ships that's how it is. People feel nauseous but tell themselves they'll be fine, until that first whiff of puke is in the air.

I don't know anything about this stuff but just had a lot of fun trying. Looks like Moser Maharani pattern.

For ROV equipment or similar, deployment would be over the stern with the A-Frame. How equipment gets there is unclear. I served on two vessels of similar vintage and operation profiles so my guess is there's a door between the hatch tween deck and quarter deck for that purpose.

The extra cables are the guy wires for that derrick. It's range of motion is over 180 degrees and to permit that the guy wires have to swing right. There's no room to land anything on the deck there. Watching the video there's nothing in that area, just some people hanging out.

I don't think there is an object on the aft deck here, it's just the arrangement of the mushroom vent/stairs/coaming that's playing tricks with our eyes. There's no room to land anything there.

That derrick is right over the aft hatch so the deckhands are just not bothering to stow it proper. They just hook something on deck and put a bit of tension on so it won't swing. I'd guess 5 ton rating from dimensions. It deploys the RHIB, which is 1-2 ton.

And measles is so contagious that the vaccines are around 90% effective, making it one of the most reliant on herd immunity effects.

@covertshores.bsky.social a short write up, but this is my first time seeing a picture of it so detailed. Apparently the one pictured above is the -150 variant, but there are also larger versions in the works.

Preventing the spread of measles relies more heavily on herd immunity than many other diseases, as it is so contagious and the vaccine is less effective than many others we have developed.

This is probably due to lightship weight distribution, continuity of strength, fire risk, and damaged stability. A large, open hangar full of magnesium and avgas is best kept at one end of the vessel. An above deck helihangar does not have the same considerations.

You can't trust media that's owned by billionaires who are beholden to authoritarians, dummies, so why not go straight to the journalists who are fighting for democracy?

I believe it is a recoiless shotgun. I've seen another video of this drone type but it was being used there to shoot down other drones.

You're right. Berth the the vessel or find an anchorage away from moving ice it should be perfectly fine. Minor problems will appear with the constant cold as not all ships are designed to take cold weather while not running the main plant for an extended period.

Thank you for your updates on this. The NOTAM shows the exclusion zone is for 3000m radius. It extends to an ceiling of 3000ft so it will have no effect on commercial air traffic.

Perhaps the thumbnail needs to be changed. It was top of my youtube feed but I scrolled right past and didn't realize who it was from until seeing it here. Even just getting a very plain but standard thumbnail like what PERUN uses might be a big help.
