Everyone has an opinion, but as far as I believe the mandatory Europe Sche procurement. This should enable these kind of jobs, but cheaper and cheaper so you inevitably loses on quality and safety. But that seems to escape most of the clients.

With heavy land cranes on barges must have riggers and stability engineers Heerema Heavy lifting. Once you get going heisen center of gravity meters up and sits above the center of gravity of the pontoon and then you have unstable equilibrium. If you also goes slewing crane, rear did that very quickly, then you lose your balance and fall to the pontoon askew, the crane falls. Clearly no stability calculation made for the pontoon.

This is what is happening here was very risky because t move too much zn pontoon which was in my opinion not properly anchored. Have just seen a filpje but I broke a chain or so it seemed right.

Bagwany 130 ton can most certainly did. So who is there to sell this nonsense. Crane plus ballast may already be at the 100 tons. If you do not know you then do not go whining. Hope it stays with injuries and no deaths. Strength for those involved.
