The barge UR1 at the Heerema Quay in Hartlepool. Eventually she will carry the Cygnus Alpha platform into the North Sea.

She was previously known as Viking Barge until December 2012.

The barge UR1 at the Heerema Quay in Hartlepool with the Cygnus Alpha platform safely in place. They're expected to sail late April 2014.

The barge UR1 leaves the Heerema Quay in Hartlepool with the Cygnus Alpha platform safely in place. She is guided out of the channel by the tugs Fiery Cross & Phoenix Cross at the bow with the Svitzer Castle and Ormesby Cross (hidden) at the stern.

The tug Svitzer Castle can just be seen at the stern.
