I'll bet this will be a sight to see tomorrow....wonder how much of an escort she'll have as she comes under the bridge...
may even be worth going out just to get some pictures.....
you can see where it's anchored http://www.belcak.com/aislive/index3.html and tomorrow u can follow its movements along with its escorts.
BREAKING: the Bay Bridge will be closed tomorrow , Wed. June 20, from 1:15 to roughly 2 p.m. while the behemoth Zen Hua 13, carrying cranes to the Port of Baltimore, passes underneath. The Key Bridge will also be closed around 3:15 p.m. for the same reason.
Baltimore moves toward East-Coast deep-water port supremacy with four new gigantic cranes
By the time you read this, Baltimore should have received some big new guns in its battle for East Coast deep-water port supremacy. According to Candus Thompson writing in the Baltimore Sun, the four colossal cranes, destined to go into service at Seagirt Marine Terminal, left Shanghai on April 14 aboard the Zhen Hua 13. Each crane weighs 1,706 tons and has a boom that can clear a 14-story building and extend from the edge of the wharf across 22 containers on a docked ship. When the Panama Canal expansion project is completed in 2014, super-size ships will be looking for ports large enough to accommodate them. Right now, Baltimore and Norfolk are the only East Coast ports that can and both are positioning themselves to profit from the expected uptick in business.
