Just down the road where I livehere in the UK we have Felixstowe one of the biggest ports in Europe and to cope with the megaships such as the E Class Maersk ships Hutchinson Ports has had to spent £291 million on lengthen part of Felixstowe South to accomdate these giants and they are proposals for a new £300million terminal at Harwich as well to reduce the strain on Felixstowe but that has been held up.

How come Long Beach isn't an automated port like the ECT in Rotterdam? looks like it would save a lot of time and money

[TheUndert0ker]

wow that crankshaft is a thing of beauty!

[malavivius]

100 ton hatch lids? the most i've lifted are 34 ton and they are 5 or 6 boxes wide, and i mean 34,000 Kgs.

I think they like to exaggerate things a little.

[HrsaILA]

@malavivius I think they mean that they can support that much weight... per hatch cover.

[77magenta]

@malavivius if you care to watch and listen, you,ll see that they are big hatch covers and not just little ones.

A crane operator is not making $200.000 a year... Discovery channel should get their facts straight.

[stole85]

Are these crane joystick from Logitech? :-D

[AustralianGuyyy]

Pay me 200,000 grand a year and I would work the cranes/drive the container trucks! Bugger me, the risk is minimal but the pay more than compensates.

[dfjpr]

you mean, you would prefer higher risk, but you would still consider doing it without as much risk as you would have liked?

[McrueProductions]

go granny

[mard420]

all that schooling to be an engineer and they were still off on the measurements LOL

[vaccine23]

these errors happen and they can't possibly be eliminated though it's best to reduce them, i think the errors would just be a misjudgment of the crane operator.

cheers!

[tld5500]

No big deal, an easy fix. Thank God there was no mistake in the position of the holes!!!! Moving the piece is a minor inconvenience. ( Relative to rebuilding it )

[kimosab3]

[kimosab3]
