Jack-Up early in the morning

We left Den Helder after two o'clock in the morning. When we crossed the south bound traffic lane, we also crossed the track of this transport. It is the Jack-Up rig Noble Lynda Bossler, towed by three tugs. The Tempest, Brent and Svitzer Marken. It is another type of platform I didn't show you. You can see the legs high in the sky, when she is on her new location, the tugs hold her in position and the platform will lower her legs until the spud cans touch the seafloor. If she continues will jacking, finally the whole platform will be lifted out of the water. If the airgap underneath the platform is big enough, she's ready for her new assignment.
