A ship shipping ship shipping shipping ships - wow!

It's not photoshopped it's the real thing.

When you need to transport 22 barges – each weighing nearly 3,000 tonnes – half way around the world, you're going to need a pretty sturdy boat.

And they don't get much sturdier than the Blue Marlin, one of the most extraordinary crafts ever to sail the seas.

The incredible ship can carry 75,000 tonnes. Rather than the usual cargo of toys, TVs and coffee, it carries other ships and oil rigs.

I'd wager one's bottom twitches when stood at the helm.

Otherwise it'll be a port in a storm.

Oh my.

Which Oligarch is going to beat that one for size then ?

 

[Pro Tour Punditry]

That IS impressive!

 

[vernon]

Oh my.

Which Oligarch is going to beat that one for size then ?

The company owns an even bigger one.

 

[slowmotion]

I thought that only frogs did that.

 

[Arch]

But how do they ship the ship shipping ship?

 

[vernon]

I thought that only frogs did that.

Nah, the French dockyards don't have the capacity to build one as big as that.

 

[Aperitif]

The SS Onion - full of bargees. Do the drivers travel with their ships do you think..just in case of an 'accident'? 3000 tons apiece - they'll never sink!

 

[vernon]

But how do they ship the ship shipping ship?

On a ship shipping ship ship.
