Nice video I bet the insurance on that trip is pretty high.

Wow - great camera work!
Never seen anything like that and started off thinking ‘it’s falling over as soon as they start lifting’ but your captions sorted that! Now I can’t believe it’s going to sail all the way across the Atlantic - who on earth plans these things?!?
Thx for sharing.

Very nicely done video. Thanks for posting.

I can't help but wonder about the location of the center of mass and the center of buoyancy of that combination. Bad things happen when the first isn't below the second. Even with the ship's wide beam, it looks as if the whole thing would be very unstable on the roll axis.

She's making 12.6 knots toward Guadeloupe this morning.

Whilst they look heavy , and they are , at 2000 tons each , that weight pales in comparison to the ship and the ballast aboard .

Thanks, I was looking for that information. So, 6000 tons of cranes. Do you know the displacement tonnage of the ship? The deadweight tonnage is 15,630 mt, but that doesn't include the ship itself. From other examples, it appears that displacement tonnage is 130-135% of DWT. That would suggest less than 20,000 mt displacement, against 6000 mt of cranes.

The ship's draft is only 5.5 meters. Considering the long moment arm for the cranes, I'm still feeling queasy about what happens with a big beam sea.

Thats where the crucial art of accurate weather forcasting comes into play . I doubt the crew or insurance company would be happy sailing into inclement weather
