beweglicher Produktionsturm
Explanation:
Fast die gesamte Sicherheits- und Regelmaschinerie für die Gas- und Ölquellen wurde schon auf den Meeresgrund verlagert. Aber für ein abgespecktes schwimmendes Offshore-System hat die "Asgard A" immer noch allerhand Großtechnik an Bord. Das bewegliche Schiff dreht sich um einen mächtigen zentralen Produktionsturm, der mit kilometerlangen Ketten im Meeresboden verankert ist. So optimiert das Schiff seine Position gegenüber Wind und Wellen, um die chemischen Prozesse an Bord zu sichern.
