This Edinburgh Life

Record breaker

This is the KL Sandefjord in Leith docks. It's an extraordinary looking boat which is in fact a giant tug. It is the most powerful anchor handler in the world with a bollard pull of 390 tonnes, which certainly sounds a lot.

It only completed it's sea trials in December. What it was doing in Leith I have no idea. Perhaps the crew fancied going to the cinema, as we did, as the weather has been foul. More info here
