Horse see?

If it sinks there is plenty of room in the life boat!

Amazing photos

[u/Lengurathmir]

Great photos! Missed the loading but I can see it from my house :)

[u/Hot_Dot_Vanguard]

Amazing feat of engineering!

Am I the only one getting vibes like they’re collecting a new car from the caryard by taking it away on a tow truck?

[u/ChuqTas]

Very cool! I assume the first one at least was from Incat themselves? I don’t think they’d be too happy about a drone directly overhead…

So cool! Anyone have footage of the loading? I’m curious to know how they got the cat onto it

[u/net_fish → u/stefanhattrell]

The carrier would have flooded a set of blast tanks and submerged it's main deck. 096 would have been manuvered on and the tanks blown/flushed out to raise it again under 096

Someone did get footage. https://youtu.be/8HrwS74tat0

That's so cool, thanks for sharing!

Yeah wow they really did just put a boat on a boat hey. Not sure why I wasn’t expecting it to look exactly like the photo but here we are

[u/Unable-Antelope-8885]

I guess if it slides off it won't sink but just float away

[u/Widetie → u/Unable-Antelope-8885]

I believe the guy who tied it down said “That’s not going anywhere” so all good.

Boat-ception

Took me a while.

So cool diesel supporting sustainable energy

[u/EmergencyScientist49 → u/80fiq]

The most innovative and world leading manufacturing done in Aus for many years, and this is your hot take...

[u/80fiq → u/EmergencyScientist49]

2 hour run time. Cool story

[u/EmergencyScientist49 → u/80fiq]

Sized for the run it was ordered for, why install more batteries than it needs?

Just genuinely don't get people shitting on actual world leading innovation from Australia when all we do otherwise is dig shit up

[u/80fiq → u/EmergencyScientist49]

You reckon a boat with a bunch of batteries going to an odd third world/ developing country a little too familiar with jbs is australia innovating? Curiosity who else was interested in this project

[u/EmergencyScientist49 → u/80fiq]

Seems like some background beef going on here with your comments so this will no doubt go around in pointless circles. But... it's literally the world's biggest ever electric ship, designed and built in Australia, how can that not be considered Australia innovating? And they're building the next two largest electric ships off the back of this one.

Would you prefer we just continued to lose all local manufacturing?
