I think it currently undergoing sea trials, but what I find impressive is that it can lift an entire topsides & jacket form the sea and transport it all back to land for disposal.

It has actually, its got a couple of bloody great big gas turbines!

But there is no propulsion system

There bigger but possibly not more complex than my current project (220M long deep water drill ships - I work in Offshore marine Electrical and control systems)
