'Resolution' in Belfast
The highly unusual ship 'Resolution' in the building dock at Harland and Wolff in Belfast beneath the gantry cranes 'Samson' and 'Goliath' J3575 : The most famous cranes in Belfast [1]
The ship is used in the construction of offshore windfarms and was in Belfast to collect turbine foundations that had been manufactured by Harland and Wolff for an offshore windfarm in the Solway Firth (see Link
). Its unusual shape comes from the six 130m legs which, once on site, jacks the vessel out of the water and provides a stable working platform to construct windfarms at sea. See Link
for some technical info on the Resolution.
