FDRC did issue a official note on there web site which sums it up succinctly, the vessel broke free and knocked over two old cranes, the local paper claims two cranes, the Swedish one and the repaired #25 as damaged, as yet I have seen no damage to #25 but it may be internal or have bounced back, there is an awful lot of give in these structures, the boom tip can sway from left to right by 9m and all that give is designed in the legs.
It is fortunate that the incident occurred on Landguard, which was due to close later this year for the rebuild, sadly it didn't take crane one out which was already defunct and stripped of electrical and mechanical control gear ready for cutting up next month. Both crane two and three were the most reliable on Landguard, crane four seemed to be the black sheep of the three remaining usable ones, I cant remember the last time I went to a break down on crane two.
Crane four will bear the brunt of the remaining vessel arrivals I would thing the rebuild will be brought forward, FDRC do have the option to rent in a road mobile crane, it has been done before on short term charter when we have had cranes out of commission before so that is an operational option they could use.
It will be interesting to see how they remove the wreckage and if we get the chance to recover our gear once the machine spaces are removed and made safe, from what I saw most looked crushed beyond repair and in some cases beyond access or any hope of anything inside remaining useful and intact.
