BOKA Vanguard: the world's biggest semi-submersible ship

Adrian Thomas, from Mermaid Pleasure Trips, saw the 91,000 ton BOKA Vanguard near Mount's Bay, off the coast of Marazion, Cornwall, this weekend. The 'jaw-dropping' vessel can carry cargoes of up to 110,000 tons - 19,000 tons heavier than itself - including ships, oil rigs and other offshore installations. And its flat deck allows ships longer than it is to overhang the bow. Mr Thomas said: 'I was astonished by the ship while I navigated around it. It was a great sight for me and my guests. You could see it from the land for ages. It looked like a giant oil rig from the land.'
