Systems, apparatuses, and methods for removing fixed offshore platforms using a semi-submersible marine vessel are described. The semi-submersible marine vessel may comprise a main body, a mooring system, a lifting system, and a gate disposed at the second end. The main body may have an extended shape sized to house a fixed offshore platform oriented in a prone position. The main body may have a first end opposing a second end and a first side opposing a second side, the first end and the second end having dimensions that exceed dimensions of a footprint of the fixed offshore platform, the first side and the second side having dimensions that exceed dimensions of the fixed offshore platform oriented in a prone position. The lifting system may have a plurality of strand jacks and plurality of strand jack cables.
