Part 6/24:

A few miles off the coast, the semi-submersible heavy lift ship GPO Amethyst exemplifies engineering that pushes maritime limits. Designed to transport massive, unwieldy structures like decommissioned oil rigs, the vessel's deck—vast enough to hold 16 Statues of Liberty—features an innovative lattice steel support structure beneath a thin (just one inch thick) steel surface. This design distributes immense loads across a network of I-beam inspired supports, closely mimicking the skeletons of skyscrapers.
