Thank you Peter and Mark for your interest towards this Picture & also the old cranes.
I have 1 more photo of this ship Dudu Express captured on the same berth,, I shall post this photo in due time & note under the photo Description the exact *Year of build* of these old cranes (previously I have to go again to Port of Bakar to check the *Year of build* on the crane's sign).
Best regards /Jadran

PS:
Thank you also Peter for providing the link to Ganz Danubius Crane Ltd ..... interesting & nice website page that is.

@peter i am not sure if Jad has that close up but i have close up of very similar cranes positioned in Raša ! (close to Rijeka)
So maybe someone knows are those cranes same type and built?

Cheers
Mark

You are 100% right Mark !! or maybe you lack only 10cm as Denis says !
However,, at this angle the image of this ship looks to me almost like a TALL-SHIP; lol


Unfortunately I do not know the exact age of these cranes at Port of Bakar,, but I do know that similar cranes that were being at Port of Rijeka were already there in 1950s (manufactured by Ganz from Hungary).

Thank you guys for your nice & interesting comments !
Kind regards (J)

Not really... Jadran would need to move on some 10-20cm to the right for that. :D
