Transportation of "Vityaz" cranes on board the platform barge.
The pecularity of the operation was the rail rolling-in and rolling-out of the assembled cranes. The overall height of the cranes was more than 56 m, the weight of each of them – 340 tons. The passing of the Kerch Strait was carried out shortly before the installation of the Crimean Bridge span, which limits the height of passing ships and transported cargo. In fact, this is the last cargo with such a height that passed the Kerch Strait. The well-coordinated work of the tug crew, together with the clear work of the office staff and engineers, made it possible to carry out complex ballasting operations and ensure transportation safely and on time.
