Found out how it unloads the ships its shipping
The MV Blue Marlin is a semi-submersible heavy-lift ship operated by Dockwise Shipping of the Netherlands. It's equipped with luxurious amenities like cabins, workout room, sauna, and swimming facilities, and has a secure citadel for protection against pirate attacks. The ship has a long history, including ownership by Offshore Heavy Transport and being hired by the US Navy to transport the USS Cole after it was damaged in a terrorist attack.
The Blue Marlin has transported a variety of cargo, including oil rigs, aircraft carriers, and other ships. Its capacity and maneuverability have been improved through modifications, such as retractable propulsors. The ship's specifications include a length of 712 feet, width of 138 feet, and deadweight of 76,000 metric tonnes. It's powered by a diesel engine and can cruise at 26.9 km/h and reach a range of 46,000 km.
The Blue Marlin's unique feature is its ability to partially sink its deck to create an open area for other boats to float and be secured for transport. This remarkable capability has earned it the reputation of being a "ship that ships other ships."
