Hi Robert,

cant't tell you how many days the ship needs from China to Germany, but I can tell you that the ship seeks shelter every time a storm is forecasted. As a result the trip lasts a lot longer than that of a container ship.

Hi Klaus,
i just want to thanks you for your explanation; i understand that the owner of the ship rather prefer to make a longer trip than to have to fight rough weather of any kind. I really agree with their decision. That type of cranes must be quite expansive and take a long time to build.
Regards, Robert08

I Klauss, very impressive shot; these cranes are really big obes; how could a ship be able to sail with that kind of load; how long did the trip take from China (i suppose) to Germany. What happens if during the trip the ship has to fight very big whaves or very rough weather! If you can answer all my interrogations, i would be very gratefull.

Thanks a lot to share, Robert08 :-(
