    I saw this rig for the first time at night on November 7, it looked like a fairy-tale castle, all lit up! I had to get on the internet and find out what it was. Now as I type this (Nov 9 9:30am) it is traveling past George’s Island. For those of us not in the know, can you explain why the rig is here in Halifax?

    I’ve been watching the Forte for a few weeks now. I’ve been a fan of these ships since seeing Mighty Servant 1 in Marystown NL in the 80’s.
    Any idea why she is still here in the basin or when she might be leaving?

        I’m surprised a ship like this would have any idle time. But I guess Dockwise has a few of these ships and the next assignment could be North American based or something.

          The US Navy was able to get 2 vessels from dockwise on short notice to transport damaged destroyers from japan to the US. I agree, they likely keep the ships busy, and booked well in advance but that doesnt mean there are gaps between projects etc.
