Thank you Frans, and Henning, for remarkable viewing.

And to answer the question on how to load / unload : they roll them on board and later roll them back to shore.

Hi,
there is no under deck cargo. "Just" Ballastwater. She used to be a crude oil tanker. Most of these kind of heavy lifters started the career as bulker / tanker

As Ken alluded to earlier post would be interested in learning how ship is "balanced" for sea voyage. I am not the greatest at physics or math :-), but on assumption the cranes are super Post Panamax type they would weigh up to 2,000 tons each X 5 = 10,000 MT deck cargo. With rudder partially visible suggests ship not fully drafted (8.3m). Wonder the type of below deck cargo used to stabalize ship when transporting such a dimensional load as gantry cranes.

I thought the cargo was one integral unit. I didn't realise they were all separate !!

I think this ship is very interested in avoiding rough seas. It is nearly impossible to understand how this cargo is possible even in flat sea. I think that only a few days ago, an oil installation or -rig went overboard (in the Atlantic?) and were lost from a platform,,,,,(?!!). So be carefull.

Great shot frans

A great series of this ship Frans which illustrates how difficult it must be to balance them for the voyage.
Kind regards
Ken

That's quite a picture !! And quite a load too. I wonder how it's taken off the vessel ?

Nice pictures Frans.

Interesting series Pilot Frans. With the appearance of being somewhat "top-heavy", I wonder how ZEN HUA 26 would handle itself in rough water...?

Your are right sascha

You are lucky to catch such pictures
