yes,,I said something in that line,,breaking apart etc,, in conjunction with the bigger and bigger boxers.
Anyone who worked on a container ship knows that "NOBODY" in the port gives anything on bendings and torsions :DURING: loading and discharging. They may be perfect allright during
departure or arrivel, but sure not in ports, also when stability criterias and bending and torsions are in port more relaxed for obvious reasons. But when one sees that on big boxers has six or more gantries working, then it is also clear that nobody is even :ABLE: to pay attention to the bending and torsions anymore. If they would load as per regulations and really adhere to the limitations then the loading and discharging time easily would double. That cost money....... no need to say more.
As long money ONLY runs the show,,the show must go on
Good that the crew got off !!!
