World largest semi-submersible cargo transport ship

Blue Marlin is the largest cargo transport ship in the world. It can carry up to 75,000 tonnes, measures 712 ft long and 138 ft deep, and has a deck the size of two football pitches. The deck is submersible and can be lowered 13 meters under the water's surface. The cargo is then floated into position before the deck raises by emptying its ballast tank. Blue Marlin set a record when it delivered the world's largest offshore structure, BP's Thunder Horse oil rig, to Mexico from Korea. Its next voyage will see it carry an aircraft carrier from Spain to Australia.

I liked that. It's a kind of hydraulic lifter. Very well conceived. Very well executed.
