Thank you mr.Frans for kind info..

In Rotterdam shore workers don't want to rely on the shipscranes. They prefer to use their own shore crane.

Thank you Capt, for kind explanation

@ husni..the cranes off shore have two advantages

1) the vessel does not list that much during operations
2) the turning circle of the cranes is much smaller and therefore the load/disch goes much quicker.
comes down again to time and therefore the all important money !!!!

Mr.Pilot..i see this vessel has 2 gears in portside.i want to know, is she stb side alongside due to current or just arranged by terminal for shore crane do the cgo ops? Here in Balikpapan if vsl has gear in ps ship like this,Pilot will arrange portside alongside so ship's gear can used. Thank you Sir
