Video only shows one crane being demolished but looks like more fell soon afterwards.

40M$ for such a gantry crane? What makes you say that? These things are all produced in China, cost is more like 5-8M$ a piece. They are shipped from China to all over the world by purpose built vessels, usually carrying 4 at the time. At destination they roll off the vessel onto shore about right where they need to put into operation. Tricky cargo, catches a lot of wind. We once had one of these ships deliver such container gantry cranes to the port of Santos in Brazil, one of these Zhen Hua ships as in the picture. Things went wrong there too. That Zhen Hua ship loaded with 4 cranes caught the heavy winds in the port that day, broke loose and went uncontrollably adrift. We had in the next berth at our grain terminal a cape size bulk carrier loading 100.000 MT soybeans for Spain. The Zhen Hua rammed the cape size’s stern, displaced the rudder system, the shock was so great that the cape size again hit a ship loading sugar in the next berth. Three of our 4 grain loading towers also were heavily damaged. The capesize due to the bent rudder system was a total write off. That was a bad day in the office.
Only one of the three cranes collapsed here in Busan by the way. The two other were touched, derailed, but stayed upright. The vessel was not seriously damaged. So not too bad actually.

That was a bit of a balls-up! Momentum can be a problem!
So who pays, the tugs' insurer or the ship's insurer? |

Can take a few years before insurance will be sorted, but in principle I would say it will be the vessel’s P&I Club that will pay.

What an amazing video. Again, I hope no one was hurt or killed?
Who was to blame is a little argument that could go on for years. We had an issue where I used to work where some switchgear was delivered to site. The truck wheel dropped through a manhole opening on top of a milton pipe which was covered in plywood to stop anyone falling down - but not a truck wheel. As the panel was strapped down to the back of the truck it twisted and in essence wrote the panel off. There was a three way argument between solicitors and lawyers whether it was the truck drivers PI, it was still strapped to his truck and his problem, the main contractors PI for not providing safe access onto the site or my old companies PI as we had bought the panel, it belonged to us and the driver was under our instruction for off loading duties. Do you know, I'm not sure it ever was sorted out? We had to buy a new panel to get the job done. The only winners were the legal team. |

Trivia - but it's worth a mention that S Korea also has a healthy heavy ship and structural steel industry from the likes of Hanjin, Hyundai and Samsung. JB @Lodelaner Instagram Youtube greenlaning and other LR related content |

Oops !
Couple of things from a mariners point of view 1. Appears to be no cargo on deck and not very deep in the water so possibly new build or just out of dock for repairs. 2. Rudder remains turning vessel to stbd throughout therefore stern is moving to port pulling against the tug trying to pull stern away from wharf. 3. Engine still turning even after hitting crane. I suspect the the ship has suffered some form of mechanical failure either of rudder or propulsion system leading to excess speed when approaching berth. Still a bad day at the office though ! |
