The largest floating crane on the U.S. West Coast was successfully offloaded from the M/V ZHEN HUA 22 in San Francisco Bay yesterday.  The impressive crane that is going to be used to complete construction on the East Span of the San Francisco – Oakland Bay Bridge floated off the heavy lift ship M/V ZHEN HUA 22 with little fanfare.

A big relief for the M/V ZHEN HUA 22, as her sister ships have had their share of disastrous incidents.
