    Very satisfying to watch the crane pick up a big pile of metal and lay it down gently and accurately into the container. The video is clear, too. Easy to focus on.

    I live next to the SA scrap metal bulk loading terminal, in LA harbor. This is like watching graceful ballet, compared to the crushing, earthquake-like dumps of scrap metal, into those empty ship holds.

    @@walterzwicker-bv9dg It’s funny. As a tug operator, I wince every time I see that steel dragged across the barge’s rail. That barge is suffering a bit.

    The crane operator makes such a difficult task look so easy. That's the result of one heck of a lot of experience or having a darn good teacher, or both! Impressive to watch.

    Love this closeup so clear - it gives us a sense of the enormity of concrete and steel that are being moved.

    Why doesn't the crane lift some metres higher? Makes it ieasier to drop everything in the hold.

    each crew and each crane is in a different area with a different task. The ship is not in this channel, although it looks close in the video.
