Out of order for about four weeks.

Great photos again Adrie

So do you have a holiday when your crane is not working ?

Martyn

Unfortunately, I have no holiday.
We have a unmanned "smaller" crane for such situation, 16 ton from 8 to 30 mtr outreach.

A few movies after a month repair.
Before we can use the crane again there are a few tests.

I was looking for random pictures of floating cranes today on Google image search and found this: http://www.marinetrading.nl/70133/floating-harbour-crane/

Floating cranes aren't exactly rare, but check out the "small" yellow crane in the background of the picture - looks familiar to anyone?

I have those "small" yellow crane sometimes seen somewhere. Looks indeed familiar.

The crane to the fore makes his last journey last week. He was going to a scrapyard.
At least, this is what they told me this week.

Underway to a vessel for loading 42.000 tons scrap.

Great Adrie,
Unusual to see cranes in use but from operators perspective (view)


thanks
