Would have like to see footage leading up to this point. This only tells a small part of the story.

Very nearly much worse. The crane jib nearly goes over the top in recoil in which case it would have taken out most of the equipment and people on the deck. This perfectly illustrates the downfall of floating cranes. The buoyancy is stored energy like an elastic band. When the main wire broke all that energy was released. I work in the offshore industry but you could not pay enough to get me to work on one of these. When something goes wrong it goes very seriously wrong.

I believe that the inclination of the boat was due to the ballast tank filled with water to counter the lifting weight. Once the load has been released those ballast tanks made the vessel to heel.

Just went into the shaming corner for acouple of weeks. It was a load test, you kinda expect it to go wrong. And thats kinda the purpose too, to se the weak spots and make sure the rights stuff break off

Worked cranes for 20 years, never had or seen a catastrophic rope failure. Seen damaged strands and bundles, but with 100 % safety factors on the ropes rated capacity from the crane manufacturers its just a replace ASAP. Interested to see the outcome of this.. Could have easily been another Orion disaster.

Я отработал в SAIPEM 20лет только хорошие воспоминания остались. Жаль что в Казахстане этой компании больше нет.

The crane is bigger than the boat...

I was working on this vessel November and December of last year (2021). Unfortunately this accident didn't come as a surprise to me. A real shame that's has happened and so glad no one was injured. Apparently the Saipem 7000 has a few nick names,. The widow maker and the death Star, to name a couple.

What’s wrong with S7000?

As a veteran boom flipper, I was holding my breath.

Test passed. Didn't flip over backwards and split the boom. Ship didn't sink. 👍

The Saipem 7000 has a bad history of safety too, the stories i heard from people who have worked on that vessel makes me not want to go there

Whatever happened, that was really lame!

Saipem 7000 is old and should have been scrapped years ago. No company will want the 7000 on their project and who could blame them. There looks to be quite a few serious safety and integrity concerns that need addressing asap!

I agree with you 100 % I've worked on her and the health and safety culture was a bit dodgy. Don't think many companies will be looking to hire Saipem. They have only just been let back in the North Sea to operate apparently.

The vessel is ok, it all depends on the way the company utilities it. Yes it's old and has a bad rep for safety and it's not a cost effective vessel by any means. Just needs a good company to run it more safety. On the other hand, it prob has no more years than 5left till decommissioning it.

7000 is just a number, 7000 tons would be more impressive.
