Mighty Servant 1 is a 29,000-ton semi-submersible heavy-lift ship.

The MS1 was built for Dutch shipping firm Wijsmuller Transport, which merged in 1993 with Dock Express Shipping to become Breda-based offshore heavylifting group Dockwise Shipping B.V. MS1 carried things such as oil rigs and floating drydocks. [1]

The firm's website says such ships can "carry the heaviest semi-submersible drilling units, harsh-environment deep-water jack-up rigs and large floating production platforms like TLP's, FPU's and spars with drafts of up to 14 metres."^[1]
