Large yard currently about 1400 people working on Elifisk 2 project
it's a 4 billion dollar project . The video shows the rig in two half s it's going to be put together at sea

These guys were 103 meters in a bucket hoist

That's 340 feet or their abouts

Apparently it can lift 800 tonnes.

Belfast's two gantry cranes can each lift (since 1969) 840 tonnes and can operate together over the world's biggest dry dock.

Just saying.

I think its the highest in Europe I know of cranes that can lift more then that weight in Europe
they haven't named it yet the smaller cranes behind it is called Samson which is a large crane in its own right made by Munck cranes out of Bergen my old employer

every one is wondering what they will call it

the cranes in Belfast are world heritage sites now
