Hi Denis, thanks for the explanation, on second thoughts I realised that you meant, cone-shaped-cranes...

Anyway I am actually surprised how many hits this ship has received. It is just an ordinary bulkcarrier after all and the shot isn't brilliant either. Nevertheless, thanks everybody.

Sorry for confusion... it's just my habit of naming the stuff I like right from the first impression. xD

^ Example of a fine freighter with "cone" deck cranes... Well, at least Jadran knows what I mean, lol.

Pieter, I think Denis is referring to Konecranes-Munckloader gantries fitted to bulkers.

I remember her as the Sandvag loading lumber on Vancouver Island.

Looks like it's a gangway to me. Not very common to see one at the very stern.
Kind Regards,

Enlighten me Denis, what are cone-cranes?

If only those were cone-cranes she would have been perfect! Great shot of this classic bulker nevertheless!
