pbase’s description of above photo:

Zhen Hua 6

This vessel is the most recent of six specially designed vessels built
for the specific purpose of transporting container cranes. It is equipped
with rails, high capacity pumps, a winch and an additional anchor,
two winches located at the back to ensure the crane moves smoothly.

ZPMC’s ZHEN HUA 6 Vessel arrived at Deltaport the week of April 18th, 2005.
She brought three of the worlds largest Super Post-Panamax Cranes after leaving
China by ship four weeks ago, two of which are headed for Vanterm with a scheduled
delivery in the week of April 25, 2005.
