A giant crane on board a brand new Cosco (Qidong) Offshore installation vessel collapsed on Saturday during load tests at the Liebherr construction yard in Rostock.

Video footage shows the giant crane recently installed on board the 58,200-gt Orion I (built 2019) self-destructing from the top down.

The Liebherr HLC 295000 crane has a lifting capacity of 5,000 tonnes and an outreach of more 35 metres.
