Been in and out a few times recently and caught her this afternoon
Sh is working off the Firth of Forth supporting the construction of the Neart na Gaoithe (NnG) offshore
wind farm located some 15.5 kilometres off the East coast of Scotland.Following the arrival of the
first 10 steel jackets on site, Saipem, through its subcontractor Heerema, lifted the first steel wind
turbine jacket into place, lowering it onto pre-installed piles on the seabed. The first batch of jacketoundations was brought
directly to the site from the location of fabrication by COSCO Shipping’s heavy load carrier Xin Yao Hua.The first jacket foundation was then installed by Heerema’s deepwater construction vessel Balder. The Normand Navigato roffshore support vessel then moved into position to undertake subsea grouting and inspections to conclude
the installation. (Source Offshore Wind)

Nope. It stands for "Neart Na Gaoithe" 15.5 Kms off the Coast of Fife.

Translated from Gaelic it means "The Strength of the Wind".
