Yeah it was really startling to watch it unfold. It's difficult for me to follow since little technical info has been released in English. What I can gather is that they failed to account for the changing stability of the barge, and coupled with a crane that wasn't designed to slew while tilted shit hit the fan.
- ams6110 11y agoI can imagine that a dual crane lift introduces a lot of variables that are not nearly as well understood or tested by manufacturers as the parameters on a single-crane lift.
- cr1895 11y agoIt's not unprecedented. It's obviously more complex but it is well understood. Something cool: there's a number of dual crane heavy lift vessels, such as the Thialf which has an insane combined lifting capacity of 14,200mt. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SSCV_Thialf https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SSCV_Thialf
