COMMENT THIS PHOTO(2)
Best regards from Rijeka,
Jadran
PS
1) The ore Unloader was assembled at VLS by the Ganz guys, and VLS assisted with their heavy lift utilities (mobile cranes, forklifts, hydraulic jacks, etc)
2) Knew then only for 'destination UK' (forgot to ask for which port in UK ! )
3) Have been also today at port of Bakar ..... and certainly, needless to say, a delicious expresso coffee at the caffe bar PORT !!!

I can only assume that the ore un-loader was assembled at VL & not transported from Hungary intact?!
Can you remember which UK port the un-loader was destined for?
Enjoy your weekend ;-)
