Yes. Remember that a crane's lifting capacity is related to the lifting radius and can only lift its max load at min radius. The Chesapeake 1000 can lift its max load at 63ft fenders to hook.

Re: Baltimore bridge collapse
Perhaps they need Sleipnir. Two revolving cranes can lift up to 20,000 tonnes in tandem. In my day I thought Hermod was big but this is huge.
Edit, posted the Hermod photo in error - here's the Sleipnir, decommissioning the Brent Alpha in 2020. The jacket weighed 10,100 metric tons. https://www.heavyliftnews.com/15300t-wo ... -sleipnir/

Re: #62
a) how the hell does the bridge see where they're going?
b) what are the "hydrodynamics" of the "hull" components? The phrase " the aerodynamics of a brick" come to mind.
c) why would you name a ship after an eight-legged horse?
Only because I'm curious you understand.

Re: Baltimore bridge collapse
a) They have to crane their necks?
b) Top speed 12kts, AND the pontoons are streamlined to reduce drag, don't you know?
c) Count its legs!

Re: Baltimore bridge collapse
The scale of these huge things, compared to eachother, is somewhat incomprehensible. Well, for me at least .

Crews tentatively expected to use explosives today to demolish part of Baltimore’s Key Bridge to free trapped cargo ship.
