If you like your video content slow and steady with a mysterious dark stranger wandering through it for no good reason, you'll enjoy this short clip on YouTube.
It shows the Cyprus-registered Seaway Alpha Lift leaving Leith this morning bound for Inch Cape, where she was expected to arrive at about 3pm.
The ship, built in 2023, is a 51,000 dwt semi-submersible installation vessel with 10,000 sq.m of main deck. She can carry up to 44,000 tonnes of cargo and equipment, and a crew of 100 (so long as they’re not too heavy).
The 3,000t main crane has an outreach of up to 71m, and can lower its A-frame so that the ship is able to pass underneath a bridge rather than towing it out to sea.
Alternatively, if you prefer images of seagoing vessels so far away that they're almost impossible to spot, this is the photograph for you.
That speck on the horizon (far left) is the Kahalani, anchored in mid-Forth where the occupants won't be offended by prying eyes.
Kalahani is a Maltese-registered, 55.05m x 10.3m luxury superyacht, built in 2010 with accommodation for 11 guests in 6 cabins (1 owner's suite with an office and his and hers bathrooms, 2 Double, 2 Twin, 1 single) served by a crew of 13.
The Kannelloni features an expansive sundeck with Jacuzzi, bar and sunbathing terrace, two additional saloons and semi-circular glass sliding doors on the bridge deck enabling indoor-outdoor formal dining for 12. Perfect for those changeable April evenings on the Fife Riviera.

Kindalonely's interior was designed, to the owner's specification, by the Paris-based Rémi Tessier consultancy. It is characterised by 'modern luxe' decor using Macassar ebony, sycamore inlays, and light/dark contrasting finishes. You can have a neb round here and here and here.
We don't know who today's owner is, but he or she may be disappointed to learn that the vessel is listed as only the 760th largest motor-yacht in the world. She was last purchased in 2023 for a reported £38,866,625.
Kahalani is a Hawaiian name meaning 'heavenly mark' or 'royal sky' , and this is a rare excursion for her out of the Mediterranean. You can follow her progress here.
Annoyingly, she is not currently available to hire.
