Mighty Servant 1 Explained

Mighty Servant 1 is a 29,000-ton heavy-lift ship capable of carrying very large vessels and offshore platforms. Built for Dutch shipping firm Wijsmuller Transport, which merged in 1993 with Dock Express Shipping to become Breda-based offshore heavy lifting group, Dockwise Shipping B.V.[1] Mighty Servant 1 carried structures such as oil rigs and floating drydocks.[2] Originally 40m (130feet) wide, she was increased to 50m (160feet) in 1999 to lift the production rig Petrobras 36 or P36.[3] [4]

Service

Mighty Servant 1 can carry the heaviest semi-submersible drilling units, harsh-environment deep-water jack-up rigs and large floating production platforms like tension-leg platforms, oil platforms and spars with drafts of up to 14m (46feet).[5]
