More ships - first video attempts

[Shipper]

I’ve enjoyed all of the ship videos posted, so wanted to offer my own. These are my first attempts at making videos, so perhaps they’d be better posted in the Critiques forum?

You were very lucky to get to see a semi-submersible heavylift ship in action.
It's on its way to Russia.s far east, just west of Japan now.
The cargo is unusual, looking like an offshore drill platform without the drilling equipment.
This explains why:

Sea Launch platform stripped of foreign equipment, ready to leave US for Russia

Great fly overs. These are always interesting to watch.

You’re absolutely right, the Odyssey is an old drilling platform that was converted to a launch platform.

I generally work on about 4-5 semi-submersible heavy lift operations each year. It was these projects that sparked my interest in picking up a drone.

I remember SeaLaunch that was supposed to be a real game changer and less expensive then launching at The Cape. Really sad what happened to that program.
At least the commander vessel made a cameo appearance in Captain America The Winter Soldier

Beautiful footage.
