Hahaha you guys are sure creative It's a sand trowing ship. First they created a ring dike and now they are blowing the sand up onto the seabed to create new land.
We Dutch are experts on this area, we did some Japanese airport, the area I am standing on when taking this picture, the Dubai palm islands and plenty more. It is a pity I cannot show you the huge amount of photo's my dad took when they built the first part of this in the 70's.
