Default Imagine Building a Boat 1600 feet Long

Currently under construction in Korea:

It will serve as a floating plant for collecting and liquifying
natural gas, thus avoiding the issues associated with building an
onshore facility.

Just the size of the shipyard cranes is staggering.

Considering that it may be subjected to typhoon force winds, and will
have pipes connected to underwater well heads, I wonder how they will
anchor it?
