Wow, dropping 20T is no joke any time any where. I'll bet that made quite the racket. Even if no one had been around, it would have made a sound!

That would squish you like a little tiny bug!
Glad no one was injured. Will the repairs take place in your port? That would be good for the economy. Hmmm, I seem to be hatching a plan here.....

Bet you were really glad they were doing the move themselves.
How many HotRod fabricators can you lower down the hold. I see you took down the op, are we supposed to not talk about it? Cheers Richard Last edited by tevake; 04-24-2018 at 05:08 PM.. |

Hatch recovery
Quote:
This morning we were assigned the job to try and lift the cover out. It went well and now it's on the pier deck. So perhaps a few pics, although it's an ongoing investigation so not getting too detailed.       Two things: No one injured and our crew not involved in mishap. |

Good that no one was injured, and that you didn't get any on you.

Is the hatch cover bent or just an optical illusion?
Maybe they are made that way? Nice work by the riggers.

Looks bent to me. Will there be engineers involved in the investigation or will it be 'all good, nothing to see here'?

So is the hatch cover going to be scrap now or would that be repaired?

How will it ever seal again with that much curvature?
