At least NFU Mutual isn't going to have to pay out for that crane and boat... going to guess that will make a Fendt look cheap.

It looked like the bulbous bow took the impact.

Yesterday morning, 31 October, a passenger ferry crashed into an STS crane at the APMT container terminal at the port of Barcelona, Spain. The crane collapsed on containers, 7 of which contained flammable products and caught fire. Dock workers were forced to flee the accident scene, so, luckily, no one was injured.
At the press conference, which was organized by the Port Authority the same afternoon, Jose Alberto Carbonell, Managing Director of the Port of Barcelona, said that the containers with dangerous goods did not pose a high risk and the fire had been soon extinguished.
The vessel that caused the collision was the RoRo-passenger vessel Excellent, operated under the Italian flag by GNV, Italian company Grandi Navi Veloci. It is reported to be manoeuvring in the port in adverse weather conditions, with strong winds that moved the vessel off course.
GNV confirmed that all passengers and crew members were safe and well. The vessel arrived from Genova and was carrying a total of 414 passengers, 59 of which were destined for Barcelona. However, all passengers disembarked at Barcelona and those to continue their voyage to Tangier, were to be transported by another GNV vessel. According to the Port of Barcelona, this next ship was to arrive the same evening.

Boats are a stupid idea. Perhaps they shouldn’t have been travelling if the wind was strong enough to blow a ferry into a crane!

Seems they could be getting a reputation for showboating. At least this one didn’t sink

Bit ironic the little lorry with the flashing lights was missed by the crane by inches, and then got burnt!

Purely spectulating and I am sure TFF accident investigation dept will soon be along but I would say the booms clipped the side of the tunnel and banged against the tank making a hole.
looks to be pumping out of a split pipe just above the induction bowl, the driver looks to be wandering around at the back of the machine with out a care in the world ,

It would off been very interesting but a HSE night mare risk assesment writing hell but it must of gone with a hell ov a bang worked on thoughs crusher many a hour just like that
On a Very similar but on wheels we used to put a stick of jelley in when it got blocked up and never did that then some one came up with the idea of putting a pecker on them to brake up a blockage that was a lot safer
The real
Men dangled a bucket tip welded to a chain down into the jaw crusher, just had to make sure you head wasn’t in the road as is came shooting back out at you.
