Thank you, guys. It’s a vessel, Akira, a much less poetic modern incarnation of Lars’s identification: https://www.heerema.com/heerema-marine-contractors/fleet/sleipnir.
Would Odin appreciate this: With the ability to run on emission-reducing LNG and various other sustainability measures, Sleipnir is the world's most sustainable semi-submersible crane vessel (SSCV) ?

Wow, Lars and Bruno, thank you for guiding me into the world of runes!  That reminded me of Jan Garbarek's album called "I Took Up The Runes".

A Trimeran heading for the bridge - the bridge celebrated its 90'th birthday those days.

Cygnus Atratus remains undaunted by the oncoming traffic. He/she made it across unharmed.

Start of the IMOCA Cape Race, 2000 miles around UK, in fog. The wind was too weak to counter the current in the Channel and these Formula 1 ocean racers were almost being pushed backwards by the current.

I guess this is a kind of forerunner of the boats in Bruno's post - great mood, Bruno  :)

Continued from previous ... I suddenly lost the "modify" option of the post - still missing, but I could modify this.
