Hi Marc/Peter
as additional note,, then they move them as far fwd on the deck that it almost touches the accommadtions. The arm of the gantry now on the deck is then sticking over the bridgeto the front of the bridge. I have a night shot of that. Then they load the 2nd right behind and welding them with enormous steel pipes down to the deck. There are no lash wires etc,,, but plenty of those steel beams and pipes. One must say that this is really some kind of "on-top" job and I really respect those guys dealing with such cargoes.

Nice photos. I work in the terminal here in Mexico where we received the cranes. The vessel was very stable and it took approx 5 hours to "skid" the cranes off the deck and onto the shore.
