Inside the Largest Crane and Container Ships

A world record weightlifting in its class. 1600 metric tons.
They are “crane ships”: jumbo vessels with installed cranes, designed to serve MechaGodzillas, hmm… no, load containers, assist in offshore construction and lift various heavy loads.
Dutch company JumboShip makes some outstanding vessels of this kind (first two photos):

Photographer Patrick Savalle had a rare opportunity to visit MV “Jumbo Fairpartner”. With his exclusive permission, we publish the pictures he took in and around the ship, with some especially humbling shots of huge shipping cranes loading containers and even train cars into the gaping maw of the hold…
