Jay Those have been around for a while. 1st time I saw them was about 2 to 3 years ago. More or less the time when it was decided that it was not a good idea to have the yacht crew ride the boat from the ship into the water. Which at the time was a regular routine. A client of mine with Hapag Lloyd claimed the event from a ship of thiers. I believe he stated it happened in New Zealand or Australia. About 3 weeks ago I attended a large casino boat that was being loaded onto a ship rigged for heavy lift capability. The casino boat weighed 260 metric tons. once positioned over the ship's hatches the forward strap slipped and it landed hard on the ship. None of the persons involved in this lift were rookies or inexperienced but what occured was that the spreader bar during the lift came in contact with the aft boom of the crane. this caused a strain on the lift which pulled on the fwd straps. And then it happened. Luckily no one was on the casino boat and no one was anywhere near the casino boat when it hit the deck. These pictures may seem humorus but they clearly illustrate what can happen when complacency sets in and trust is placed where trust should not be placed.
