That is big, but... This is really big. I used to work on this and its sister barge the SSCV Balder. It can lift 13,000 tons and I used to run around the decking which was 1/2 mile. there are 26 flights of steps from the bilge to the deck and then a shed load more to get to the bridge. Unfortunately it would be difficult to get it to a woodland but one interesting fact about wood... when piling, the hammer of which the travelling part weighed 300tons had wood between it and the pile. Someone counted the strokes when it was working because if it went over a certain amount it would explode. the wood I seem to remember was Green Heart, whatever that is.

Unfortunately the piled 24hrs when they needed too and the diving chambers were on the stern, exactly where the hammer was. Imagine being in a chamber with a constant mmmmmmmm..... BANG, mmmmmmmmmmm.... BANG.
