The bracing legs of the fifth crane which
are welded to the ship for the voyage are
currently being cut free. Could move on this
next tide (HW 16:20)

I think the fifth crane is now on the
quay. I will confirm later when quay
edge is exposed as ship drops with tide.

Current view - fifth crane is on right.

The fifth crane is now on the quayside.
The edge of the quay is visible now that
the tide has dropped. The fifth crane is
at the right of the group..

Ditto. The delivery ship will look a whole lot different when it sails back up the estuary. Wonder if its getting a return load of anything to delivery somewhere.

I guess it will be bombing back to China pretty fast, there are a lot of these cranes getting delivered all over the world because of the Chinese subsidies in steel (the main reason our steel industries have been shutting down).
