Presumably designed for speed of unloading/loading, hence four cranes. Suspect that that required shorter jibs, so are placed off-centre to increase over-side outreach.

But I find it difficult to get my head round the scale - there are so few geared Panamaxes

she is one of a series for Oldendorff.

I think you right Clyde,but the cranes are different.These cranes are on deck.

Hi Hannes. Perhaps the design is for similar reasons as for the .... gracht vessels?? See http://www.shipspotting.com/gallery/photo.php?lid=2361554#

I think it has to do with self loading and unloading over SB.

She is moored over PS at the EMO quay.

I'd guess, to provide easy unobstructed access to holds for shore cranes or a grab floating crane. Also at minimal outreach cranes have higher hoisting capacity.

Thanks Denis for your nice comment.

Wonder why this arrangement though,could they discharge say into barges on the port side?

Interesting bulker for the cranes' arrangement as well as how they store their booms. Nicely done, Hannes!
