description A vessel is provided that is an improvement over previously disclosed jack-up rigs and lift boats. The vessel has at least three thrusters and is self-propelled. The vessel additionally has a raised and hollow crane support on which a crane may be mounted. The crane support is preferably affixed to tracks, which permit the crane to slide along the deck of the vessel. The raised and hollowed feature of the crane support permits the storage of equipment and things beneath the crane support without hindering the movement of the crane along the tracks. Optionally, the vessel further has an extension assembly atop which may be deployed a workover rig assembly. The crane may be used to assemble the extension assembly and thus aid in the construction, remediation, and demolition of offshore oil and gas platforms and wells. L'invention concerne un vaisseau qui constitue une amélioration par rapport aux plate-formes de forage auto-élévatrices et bateaux de sauvetage antérieurs. Le vaisseau, qui comporte au moins trois propulseurs, est automoteur. Il possède en outre un support de grue surélevé et creux sur lequel la grue peut être montée. Ledit support de grue est de préférence fixé à des rails, ce qui lui permet de glisser le long du pont du vaisseau. La caractéristique surélevée et creuse du support de grue permet le stockage de l'équipement et d'autres objets sous le support de grue sans gêner le mouvement de la grue le long des rails. Éventuellement, le vaisseau possède également un ensemble d'extension au-dessus duquel un ensemble appareil de forage peut être déployé. La grue peut être utilisée pour monter l'ensemble d'extension et faciliter ainsi la construction, la réparation, et la démolition de plates formes et puits de pétrole et de gaz en mer.
