So, here we have imagery for 28 September 2025.

At the western side from top to bottom:
094 in the dry dock on the blue barge
093A north side of pier (measured for confirmation)
093B south side of pier (measured for confirmation)
094

Over at the new side:
093B being positioned by tugs (measured)
Dry dock being filled
Sand coloured floating barge in the loading bay.

I'd say the 093B has being moved across from the western side - or at an outside chance has been out to sea and is being positioned to go into the dock.

Looking at the tug positions it looks like they're spinning it to point west.

At the western side from top to bottom:

And at the eastern side:
093B in the dry dock on the sand coloured barge

So, is it a "new" one? No, I don't think so.

Is it the same one as before? Could well be, but it's been out of the dock for a short while - maybe out at sea for trials.

Still not an out of the sheds boat yet though.

Looking at the tug positions it looks like they're spinning it to point west.
So you think they launched an 093B, took it to the West side, then put it (or a different one) back on the barge, having already put the barge back in its launching slot? That doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

Did you measure any of the hull sections laid out North of the dock and, if so, discover anything interesting?
