A look at the barge Oceanus, which Rocket Lab has acquired for conversion into a landing platform for the Neutron rocket.
Built in 2010 and 400ft long x 105ft wide, the barge is slightly longer than Blue Origin's Jacklyn, both outclassing SpaceX's trio of 300ft long droneships.

A revised render from Rocket Lab for their upcoming Neutron droneship! Per the linked press release, the company has acquired a stock barge (photographed) and will convert it, much like SpaceX's approach.
'Return On Investment' is a fantastic name. 10/10 no notes.
