The MPI Discovery
(Photographed off the Scarborough coast, identification confirmed from AIS charts.)
The vessel is described as, "The next generation of wind turbine installation vessel. Designed to transport, lift and install wind turbines and their foundations, she is the world’s most advanced and most efficient WTIV, in terms of jacking speed, deck space, lifting capacity and positioning capabilities."
The ship is roughly 10 miles from the camera or 8 nautical miles from the coast according to the AIS chart.
