However, they have now abandoned this idea due to its increased cost vs a stationary barge. | |

Have you looked into these for how they've accomplished their tasks? | |

With a lot of luck a ship is not sunk by such waves, but keeping a floating landing pad stable so it remains level during the landing is impossible with rogue waves. | |
