The vessel is ballastable fox increasing and decreasing the draft of the vessel when the vessel is mated with a work deck unit, sufficiently that the vessel can ballast down from a separately supported work deck unit and move out from thereunder. The dock facilities are defined for movement thereinto of the vessel with a work deck unit thereon. The dock facilities are each defined for engaging and supporting a work deck unit therein both for loading and unloading of cargo to and from the deck unit and for transfer to and from the vessel in response to ballasting of the vessel relative to the dock facility. Further, the drilling facility is arranged for receiving and discharging a work deck unit from and to the vessel.
