The boat crane

The boat crane

This unique facility features a modern docking crane that efficiently lifts and maintains ships, showcasing the evolution of maritime technology for visitors.
The boat crane is an essential facility in developing work on the maintenance of ships. Currently the system consists of a docking crane which, using slings, lifts the ship and transports it to the dry dock. Maintenance work mainly consists of cleaning the hull, structural repairs, servicing etc. Formerly, the task of dry docking a ship was performed with a structure which loaded the boat and carried it along rails. The limited capacity of this system contributed to the modernisation of the new system.
