 As geoscientist working for industry one comes across some rare chances to have a look at quite impressive pieces of heavy metal. I've recently had the chance to visit [[http://www.allseas.com/uk/19/equipment/pieter-schelte.html|Allseas' Pioneering Spirit]], a pipe-laying and platform decommissioning vessel which is currently being prepped in the port of Rotterdam for the first project in 2016. The vessel is the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pioneering_Spirit_(ship)|largest ship in the world]], going by deck size, dwarfing many of the publicly well known large ships like aircraft carriers, supertankers and cargo vessels. Here are a few impressions of that mighty piece of metal and engineering. There's also some video footage of the vessel which can be found on YouTube - and the mighty lady even has her [[https://twitter.com/PioneringSpirit|own Twitter feed]] (with more videos and pictures there). As geoscientist working for industry one comes across some rare chances to have a look at quite impressive pieces of heavy metal.
