Floating out

In my blip of 23 April, I showed a very strange ship entering Stornoway Harbour. It got to work today (Saturday 25th), by filling up its hold tanks, thereby sinking lower into the water. The deck (effectively a drydock) was flooded, allowing the three barges stored on there to be towed out using a small tug, as this picture demonstrates. The Condock II sure is one of the strangest vessels I've seen anywhere. By the way, the barges were transported 7,750 miles from Chile, for use on fishfarms around the Western Isles.
