ALE COMPLETES A LANDMARK 274T CRANE LIFT OF CAPTAIN COOK REPLICA VESSEL

摘要

A demanding crane lift by UK heavy lifting specialist company ALE, has allowed HM Bark Endeavour, one of only two full-scale replicas in the world of the ship commanded by explorer Captain James Cook for his voyage to Australia and New Zealand, to be moved from its current berth at Stockton-on-Tees to the Tees Barrage."We are proud to be involved in such a landmark and prestigious project providing the heavy lifting, ballasting and mooring. This is a technically challenging project, with low bridges and a narrow lock to negotiate. After discussing different methodologies, weengineered a time-efficient solution that meant the ship could pass under the bridges and be lifted over the lock," explained Jonathan Brown. Project Engineer for ALE.
