YouTube Video Descriptionโ†“

Over three months, cable layer Stemat Spirit will connect a wind farm in the Irish Sea to people's homes and businesses in Northwest England, but the job is proving to be a treacherous one. The Irish Sea may be a perfect place to operate a wind farm, but it's a brutal place to actually build one, and completing this mission will mean battling high seas, ferocious winds, and potentially damaged equipment. Join the multi-million-dollar operation as this "rule-breaking" Mighty Ship works both on land and sea, doing the job no other ship can.
