Good morning,

She is an accommodation vessel, housing 64 persons. (with an option to increase to 120)

The leg length is 80 meter and has a maximum payload of 1,250 tons and in addition has a crane capacity of 300 tons.

Good morning,
Here are a couple of images that were taken early one morning of Montrose Quay.
Who Uses Montrose Port?
As one of the largest Chain and Anchor ports globally and with the world’s largest chain inspection companies, InterMoor and First Marine Solutions, calling it home, Montrose Port is strategically placed to work with supply vessels servicing wind farms, oil rigs and other destinations in the North Sea and far beyond.
They have long been trusted by some of the biggest names in the oil and gas industry as well as the renewables sector, supporting the different stages of their ventures from operations and maintenance to decommissioning.
Thanks,
Lee
Good morning,
Have you ever wondered how tall the offshore turbines are?
Well the one in the video above, is a turbine on a UK wind farm.
These have a maximum height of up to 204m to the tip of the blade with a blade diameter of 164m.
Thanks

Hello, today I’d like to share with you some photos from a recent visit to Arbroath Abbey.
Nestled in the heart of Arbroath, the ruins of Arbroath Abbey stand as a testament to Scotland’s rich medieval history.
The abbey’s architecture showcases the grandeur of medieval design, with its towering arches, intricate stone carvings, and beautiful rose windows. Despite being in ruins, these elements highlight the skilled craftsmanship of the era
Founded in 1178 by King William the Lion, Arbroath Abbey is one of Scotland’s most significant medieval monasteries. It played a crucial role in Scottish history, particularly as the place where the Declaration of Arbroath was drafted in 1320, a document asserting Scotland’s independence.
The Declaration of Arbroath is one of Scotland’s most important historical documents, symbolizing Scottish independence and national identity.
In 1320, during a turbulent period of Scottish history marked by wars of independence against England, Scottish nobles and barons came together to draft the Declaration of Arbroath. This letter, addressed to Pope John XXII, sought to affirm Scotland’s status as an independent kingdom and to request the Pope’s intervention in the conflict with England.
I can highly recommend the Abbey for a visit, as it is a very interesting site.
Thanks
Lee
