Belfast Giants: Another Rig Is Just Here for Parking
#BelfastGiants - Belfast City residents and those living alongside the lough may have noticed a new hulk which sailed into the city recently, reports the News Letter.
A large oil rig, called the Borgny Dolphin, has docked at Harland and Wolff (H&W).
It comes just months after the leviathan-sized Blackford Dolphin which was reported on Afloat.ie, sailed out of the harbour, after many months of valuable re-fit work at the ship repair yard.
However, at the moment the H&W is not planning to do any work on the new arrival.
Instead it is simply laid up after its contract in the North Sea finished – effectively using H&W as a giant parking space while its operators figure out what to do with her next.
It could be months before a decision is made, said the firm.
