Yes Henning ,not much different , but bear in mind that the ship is ballasted forward so to slide the prop off the shaft is a bit different and a bit more also difficult than when on b;ocks in drydock and and on lighters/barges in the middle of the harbour in all weather and the large shore cranes unavailable makes the job more harder, but yet this was always done when dry dock space was unavailable.

As Emmanuel said : lot's of chain blocks , lighter and guys who know what they are doing. Actually it is not that much different from what you do when vessel is in dry-dock

This method is not that common but also not a rarity,when drydock space is limited, such method is used, mind you it involves more demanding work with chain blocks ,lighters etc. but most of all with a competent work force doing coordinated work.I have witnessed it several times in Malta when the dockyard was overwhelmed with drydock space work .

That's a great shot in full screen. How the heck do they manage to remove the prop like this? What sort of equipment is required to do it?
