These are parked in Leith harbour. I suspect they might be involved with the big North Sea windfarm project under construction...

Or maybe looking for more gas and oil?

From wikipedia

Borkumriff was a lightship position from 1875 to 1988, originally at 53° 51′ 0″ N, 6° 26′ 0″ E, later at 53° 43′ 0″ N, 6° 23′ 0″ E (from 1970 onwards, due to changes in shipping lanes, at 53° 48′ 0″ N, 6° 22′ 0″ E), approximately 30 kilometers northwest of the island of Borkum in one of the main shipping lanes of the German Bight. The ships stationed at this position were designated as the Borkumriff lightship.

This gargantuan crane is on a boat...

It's involved in building a huge North Sea wind farm. Those 'tubes' lined up are the stands for the turbines. I can't get any closer to them - no public access.

Scheveningen hosting the Tall Ship Race?

I am wrong. It must be Amsterdam. But in 2019 there was a sail in Scheveningen. This picture is made in 2025 in Amsterdam

A better look at that 'crane-boat' ^ upthread...





The stands for the offshore wind turbines are lying across its deck.

More developments with the wind farm projects. There are two of them: Inch Cape, which I think is what all the current pieces are for, and Berwick Bank, which is still at the planning stage and will be massive when complete.

The peices in the post upthread ^ are the 'monopiles' that get pile-driven into the seabed by the huge crane. They have been getting delivered from China and unloaded onto the dock...

A new boat has arrived to deliver the 'transition pieces', which get bolted on to the monopiles...

Other boats in the harbour are involved in surveying the North Sea for where to put all these things...
