The Versabar 10,000 docked at the Port of Pensacola on Friday, October 7, 2011. It is a catamaran-style craft consisting of a pair of barges linked by a 240-foot-tall pair of steel gantries. The vessel is used to salvage damaged oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico. “We’ve never had one like this before,” Port Director Clyde Mathis said early Friday afternoon. Mathis said the vessel is docking here for routine labor. Choppy seas forced the vessel into Pensacola Bay. The vessel is not self-propelled and must be towed wherever it goes. Each of its gantries weighs about 3,400 tons. The vessel’s mission is to clean up hurricane-damaged platforms under a government mandate. The Versabar 10,000 can lift 7,500 tons of scrap metal from as far as 400 feet deep.

We had heard that the Versabar 10,000 was docked at the Port of Pensacola; so we went to see it while we were in the area after Saturday morning prayer meeting. We were surprised to find that it could only be seen from a distance. Judging from the amount of people who drove up to the parking lot and took photos of it with us, a lot of people wanted a picture!

The Skandi Achiever, a dive-support boat, stopped at the Port of Pensacola for an equipment and crew change. The boat’s saturation dive system allows 18 divers to trade off staying in four, three-man decompression chambers. The divers can descend and perform work on equipment like offshore rigs then recover from deep-water diving. The 350-foot vessel arrived at the port at about 6:30 a.m. Wednesday after a trip from Europe. The vessel, owned by French oil and gas infrastructure giant Technip, will be at the port for four to five days before going on its next three- to four-week job in the Gulf of Mexico. It will return to Pensacola to pick up equipment after the job.

Birds at Palafox Pier admire the view with us!
