#Biggestship #WorldsBiggestShip #PieterSchelte
The Pioneering Spirit is considered to be the biggest ship ever built for sailing at high seas in terms of displacement and breadth of the ship.
It was initially named as Pieter Schelte, after Allseas’ founder Edward Heerema’s father, who had been in the German army for a period during World War II.
Eight years in the making, Allseas’ Pioneering Spirit single-lift vessel is the largest construction ship in the world. Pioneering Spirit’s role as a platform installation, decommissioning and pipelay vessel demands the most comprehensive, reliable and feature-rich DP and manoeuvring system available.
‘Pioneering Spirit or Pieter Schelte’ is 382 metres long and 124 metres wide. The length, in combination with the massive width, makes this vessel unique.

Although the Pioneering Spirit was renamed, I’m surprised that originally it was named after Nazi SS officer Pieter Schelte. They might as well have named it the Adolf Hitler if they were honoring the Nazis. Very strange decision on the original name for sure.

@markknoop6283 3 года назад

It's family of the owner and founder of allseas. And now he named it after his qualities.

@TheNefastor 3 года назад

IIRC the officer in question was an engineer, so there was a tenuous connection. Plus he's part of the owner's family. I don't think no one advertised the SS aspect, from what I heard is a group of people unrelated to the industry that noticed the name and raised the issue. Good thing they did, and good thing the name was changed.

@alanm1894 2 года назад

@@TheNefastor Almost right, it was the Irish who banned the vessel into Irish ports because of the links to Pieter Schelte, who was in the Nazi SS, during WW2. This in turn forced Allseas to change the name to the Pioneering Spirit. No matter what you think, it is an amazing vessel.
