Comments: Arrived in Melbourne in August 2006 and known locally as the "Holdenburg". The Lightship has a 21.3 X 9.1m LED screen on the port side to advertise GM Holden products. Holden have been using the lightship at major sporting events which has upset official sponsors such as Toyota. State Governments have been forced to introduce legislation to ban the use of Blimps and Skywriting over such events. Very impressive at night.
