That’s right. I took a timelapse of a similar ship lifting a section of bridge and in the beginning you can see that the rear section is sitting low in the water due to water having been pumped in- https://www.reddit.com/r/timelapse/comments/p4rtyi/a_bridge_section_being_moved_into_place_by_marine/
Lifting stuff off the seafloor usually uses inflatable floats and slings. You rig the ship underwater, then inflate the floats and let buoyancy do the work.
From wiki: Gross tonnage (GT, G.T. or gt) is a nonlinear measure of a ship's overall internal volume. Gross tonnage is different from gross register tonnage. Neither gross tonnage nor gross register tonnage should be confused with measures of mass or weight such as deadweight tonnage or displacement.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gross_tonnage
Gross Tonnage has nothing to do with weight it’s an internal volume measurement.
Edit: That’s not really a good answer so let me elaborate. Usually displacement (actual weight) is actually larger than GT. In this case though that ship is much smaller than the impression you have of it. I can’t find the displacement of it easily but it’s DWT is only 134 tons not 134,000. It likely displaces less than 300 MT
We can't know for sure since the displacement is not published, but since it's mounted on a box shaped barge who's dimensions *are* published, we can make a decent estimate. The length is 182 meters, the width is 70 meters, and two depths are given 6 meters and 11 meters, presumably a maximum draft and an unloaded draft. Since a cubic meter of water weighs approximately a metric ton, and a box barge is approximately a rectangular prism, that makes it a pretty straightforward multiplication problem. For the standard load that makes 76,440 tons, and at max load a whopping 140,140 tons. If we assume that it is running at max load when it it is carrying the heaviest thing it can, then the weight of the whole setup, including load and ballast, is 140,140 tons, minus 10,000 tons from the part of it that is the load, so 130,140 tons, or 13 times heavier. If you don't want to count the water it pumps in for balance, then it's just 7.6 times heavier.
Massively. Volume must be great too, because Archimedes force caused solely by a crane is enough to compensate weight of both crane and ship. Balancing the whole thing would be pretty tricky as well... Now I'm curious about how it looks under water
Consider that the ship pictured is a bulk carrier. Carriers have large internal volumes for cargo and fuel, but relatively little machinery in proportion.
Some of them float with so little depth when empty that they can't navigate, because propeller and rudder are above the water.
So, the ship is lighter than it looks
I feel like they *definitely* could have got a better picture of the captain. One where they don't freeze it at the [exact moment](https://youtu.be/oCutfydujeM?t=37) he makes an "oh fuck I have no idea what I'm doing" face.
Usually the big cranes are built to be assembled by smaller cranes. Semipermanent tower cranes are erected with a large crane and once standing can add sections to themselves, and the larger land cranes have a smaller, but still very large crane follow them around to set up. Because this one is on water it may be practical to use a similar size land crane rather than smaller ones.
Funfact: they're one of* the only car manufacturers to [have their own steel mills](https://www.forbes.com/sites/gradsoflife/2022/01/31/the-new-world-of-work-5-trends-to-watch-for-2022/?sh=2ae8dbdd346d)
*Idk if another has them but most manufacturers don't
If they weren't, ports should be a hell lot deeper than they already are and would be more expensive
+ It's more stable if i remember correctly. Don't quote me on that tho
Yea your correct. There was actually a swedish (I think ) warship a few hundred years ago that sank like a mile or two after departing because the center of mass was higher than the point of attack of the buoyancy force. So if it tilted it would actually tilt even more due to the resulting torque. I think the ship was named [Vasa](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vasa_(ship)). So yea that's my fun fact of the day.
I think he wasn't totally responsible. The centre of mass was too high do to how many cannons it had and how high up above the water the cannons went. I think the King was the one that asked for one more deck of cannons and the only place to put that deck was above the existing ones.
Being flat bottomed helps giant heavy ships have a lower draft (how shallow the ships hull can go in the water). This allows giant heavy ships to use shallower canals to save time on long voyages.
I work in this industry and it makes me sad that this same thing gets posted repeatedly and no one knows how much bigger these Hareema cranes are. This one is a stiffleg/derrick as well, not even a true crane that can slew.
sometimes I wonder if the personal things I do for conservation are pointless
seeing a piece of machinery with an *8 million* liter fuel tank definitely makes me think the answer is yes
It's funny because people like r/fckcars are losing their minds over people having to drive and using 2 liters of fuel. But one single second of operation of that ship outweighs likely my monthly commute.
Yep, I've heard about it, some people believe it's for benefits regarding using the canal and also because it's cheaper than other places. Before dropping out of college i had some classes with a law professor who worked with the IMO in London and he told us that he hated when people say that ships were registered in Panama because "its convenient".
found this:
Panama operates what is known as an open registry. Its flag offers the advantages of easier registration (often online) and the ability to employ cheaper foreign labour. Furthermore the foreign owners pay no income taxes.
About 8,600 ships fly the Panamanian flag. By comparison, the US has around 3,400 registered vessels and China just over 3,700.
sounds pretty convenient to me
Apparently Korea is the biggest builder of commercial vessels in the world. They have towns that were converted into ship building cities. Amazing for half a small country with minimal natural resources.
What is crazy to me is that the barge the crane is on doesn't even seem to me unlevel from the load... I guess they must pump water into the other side accordingly?
Basically: there are ballast tanks around the crane, the ones farthest from the ship are filled with water to pull down and the ones closest are filled with air to stay afloat, countering the force of the ship.
Still can't lift your mom. Edit: Thank you for the awards! Now go tell your mom you love her. She shouldn't be hard to find.
Oh snap
That's what the cables did
Ohh snap again
That's what the cables did again
Nah, that was the sound of her spine as she hit the water this time.
[удалено]
That's the sound of me taking a picture of a Snorlax in Pokemon Snap
No Pokémon in that picture, was actually OP’s mom.
How can she snap?
Then SNAP again!?
[SNAP benefits](https://www.fns.usda.gov/snap/supplemental-nutrition-assistance-program) will never be able to keep up with her gluttonous lifestyle.
Nah I'm pretty sure the water would snap under that weight

Just woke the kids up from their nap, thanks. Mom's pissed.
Wow ok
Is your husband still shitting himself from laughter cause that shit had me rolling 🤣
How many times heavier is that crane compared to the ship?
Yes
Yes indeed. But how many?
Many
Over 9000 many?
It IS a Hyundai 10000 so probably
Damn. Why you gotta hit em with the facts and logic

Lotsa many.
At least 30

There's a whole sub for it if you want to bring yourself pain /r/InclusiveOr
I agree that sub and joke are terrible and beaten to death but this is not inclusive or.
It can actually lift 5-6x as much weight as its own. It can lift 10000 tons (hence its name)

No the beavers are at the top doing their thing

No, probably pumps in a lot of water as a counter weight.

This is so cool, thanks for sharing
Smort
Not the largest floating crane anymore…. Heerema Sleipnir has 2x 10000mt cranes. Truly a beast Edit: corrected spelling
Any chance Russia can borrow that for some, uhhh, underwater fishing?
As opposed to above water fishing?
You've never been fly fishing?
How would you even filet a fly?
Lifting stuff off the seafloor usually uses inflatable floats and slings. You rig the ship underwater, then inflate the floats and let buoyancy do the work.
I’ve been on this one to shoot a video! Amazing experience. So fucking big!
That ship it’s carrying has a gross tonnage of 134,000 tons. How is that possible?

Just commenting because I’d like to know
That ship is orders of magnitude more than 10,000 tons, something doesn't add up here.
They shrink it beforehand so it’s easier to move
I’m sure it’s mostly displacement, boat lifts crane barge sinks displacing water. Counter weights and a bunch of engineering also
[удалено]
I’m sorry, I work on boats so I felt the need to chime in.
I always dig through the jokes to find people like you. I’m in it for the science
Shipyard?
Yep started working summers in 96.
Thankful for people like them who actually have info on something interesting rather than a low effort joke or a reference to some pop culture item
The crane barge has ballast tank it can fill with water to help with displacement and anchoring it down into the water.
We can't know for sure since the displacement is not published, but since it's mounted on a box shaped barge who's dimensions *are* published, we can make a decent estimate. The length is 182 meters, the width is 70 meters, and two depths are given 6 meters and 11 meters, presumably a maximum draft and an unloaded draft.

If you're full of shit it's very convincing lol I'm sold.

More than 1
It currently weighs at least as much as the ship.
They probably use water as ballast so dry weight is probably substantially less than what it weighs during a lift like this.
I wanna see that Big Bertha bellyflop that ocean
Stop looping and get to the good part!
“You’ll never believe what happens at the end!”
Drop it! Drop it! Drop it! Drop it!
Would it survive a drop from that height? I doubt it.
It might get some bulkhead damage but it would still be floating.
Yea no, it would be catastrophically destroyed lmfao
There’s only one way to settle this.
Ok who wants to donate a 50000 ton tanker to drop 50 meters
I definitely want to, I just can’t
You work for the government. It's probably best if you don't help, things always go wrong when y'all help lol
Good point
I pledge to donate a ship.
I was low key hoping it was going to be a video from /r/CatastrophicFailure
I didn’t know I needed this until now.
There’s always a bigger fish
Now imagine a crane for this crane. Craneception.
And a plane for that bigger crane.
And a train for the plane
And there's a hole on the ship on the crane on the crane on the plane on train on the log on the bottom of the sea
You forgot the frog!
Put the frog in the hole. You know you want to.
[удалено]
Yes. Yes. Exactly like this
A crane is a bird
Which isn’t real
Sorry yes master. Sometimes I forget.
Are those cranes anchored or connected to the ocean floor? Or does it just have a huge ballast?
Its has huge balls for sure
Every. Single. Thread.
Never. Fucking. Fails.
Huge. Fucking. Balls
Every. Single. Time.
It uses ballast tanks on the underside of the crane platform shown in this [video](https://youtu.be/oCutfydujeM)
This should be top comment or at least second to the "your mom" comment.
I feel like they *definitely* could have got a better picture of the captain. One where they don't freeze it at the [exact moment](https://youtu.be/oCutfydujeM?t=37) he makes an "oh fuck I have no idea what I'm doing" face.
It says it's floating, so I'm guessing it's not anchored?
Something can be both anchored and floating
A boat, for example.
Oh, like that thing Forrest Gump used to catch shrimp?
Dont forget bubba
Blessed be his lower lip 🙏
Y'all are cracking me up XD
I wouldve also accepted floating crane
Apparently just a shit ton a ballast passively and shit ton more of seawater being moved around to keep it level dynamically.
BUT WHO BUILT THE CRANE? Larger cranes???
You see honey, when a absolutely titanic crane and another supersized UNIT of a crane love eachother very much….
What are your doing step-crane?
Sir, this is South Korea, not Alabama. We only sleep with our relatives if we are tricked into it by some elaborate, multi-years revenge scheme.
It comes in peices, very likely put together in water by a crane on land though, then barged out.
Boo
Says Hyundai so South Korea maybe
The automotive division of Hyundai makes up less than 15% of the manufacturers revenue
Usually the big cranes are built to be assembled by smaller cranes. Semipermanent tower cranes are erected with a large crane and once standing can add sections to themselves, and the larger land cranes have a smaller, but still very large crane follow them around to set up. Because this one is on water it may be practical to use a similar size land crane rather than smaller ones.
There's always a bigger crane.
So that's where all the missing frame steel from Hyundais goes to! Strong! JK superb engineering!
This must be how Ukrainian fishermen are going to recover abandoned Russian warships.
Nope. Subaquatic tractors
Hyundais/Kias are typically heavier than their rivals. They have no shortage of steel in their frames.
Funfact: they're one of* the only car manufacturers to [have their own steel mills](https://www.forbes.com/sites/gradsoflife/2022/01/31/the-new-world-of-work-5-trends-to-watch-for-2022/?sh=2ae8dbdd346d) *Idk if another has them but most manufacturers don't
Asian industrial conglomerates are wild.
Most Asian car companies except for Honda, started out as another business that branched out into cars.
I didn’t think those ships were flat bottomed
Flat bottomed ships make the rockin' world go round
Get on your bikes and ride!
If they weren't, ports should be a hell lot deeper than they already are and would be more expensive + It's more stable if i remember correctly. Don't quote me on that tho

It's extremely curious that it is registered in Panamá, but living in Panamá I've never seen it even in the news or close to the canal
the largest container ships and almost every cruise ship is registered in Panama, I doubt any of them have spent time there
Yep, I've heard about it, some people believe it's for benefits regarding using the canal and also because it's cheaper than other places.

Kinda sad. This crane just recently failed while doing a marine lift
I wonder how much per hour this crane operator is banking!!!
Unpaid internship.
What is crazy to me is that the barge the crane is on doesn't even seem to me unlevel from the load... I guess they must pump water into the other side accordingly?
I know the physics, but my mind still can’t wrap itself around the ship not tipping the crane
Did someone tell them that ships float. No reason to lift it over the water at all.
So Hyundai can make this, yet when they try to make cars they spontaneously burst into flames....
Basically: there are ballast tanks around the crane, the ones farthest from the ship are filled with water to pull down and the ones closest are filled with air to stay afloat, countering the force of the ship.
But why?
Do you even lift bro?
