Re the IRMAK.Yesterday, I saw the MMH marine travel lifter astride the vessel, so something will be happening to this situation .se has been on the wharf since October of last year.

Thanks to be of service, the IRMAK marine lifter which lifter and transported the IRMAK to her present position could be seen more clearly in my photograph of the OOC JAGUAR Imo.9513878 which I have posted recently.
thanks and regards my friend

Killer shot Emmanuel. Thanks for posting!

Having seen it from another angle, can confirm that the mast has been folded down,
Note also that the travel lift can be seen (only one of its legs) at the extreme right top of the picture with the initials MMH on it.

Note forward mast folded or cut down so as to enable the travel lift to drive astride the vessel.The said travel lift must have bogey wheels on rubber tyres that can be 90 degrees so as to enable it to travel the length of the dock and then turn another turn so as to park the vessel onto the quay. This my humble opinion, bearing in mind that the vessel is 74.81 mtrs in length.I don't know if MMH has filmed the entire operation ,it would be interesting to watch the whole process.

Not being a member of Facebook (Or any other social media platform) I copied/pasted link provide by Jonathan & David to see the travel lift in action. I also checked YouTube to see if there is a video of the move (apparently not...?) While browsing YouTube I came across a video of STP Shipyard Palma showing timelapsed assembly of their 1000 ton capacity travel lift with footage of it in action (4 minute video). Apparently its the largest travel lift in Europe. I've included STP link so it gives those interested a sense as to how the IRMAK was taken out of the water by MMH.

So weight was 650t, comfortably under the lift's 700t capacity.
This should be a permalink to the photos:

100% correct, see https://www.facebook.com/mmhmaltaltd/photos/pcb.691814757988156/691859547983677/?type=3

This might be a stretch, but could MMH new Marine Travel Lift be capable of lifting such a vessel as IRMAK out of the water...? Briefly visiting their web site and "drilling" further into the NEWS panel, there is a January 2019 post indicating a new travel lift in process being assembled at the time (Capable handling vessels of 700 tons/14 meters in width).

From the looks of her, you will not be buying a cargo vessel but a beached rust bucket ,could be that her only worthwhile asset was her missing screw.

Sorry Phil, I went straight to get the info from the horse's mouth and sent an email to Med. Maritime Hub last Saturday, but up to today I have not received any answer.

Any further news regarding how she was brought ashore, Emmanuel?

HE..He.. very good David. I will try to enquire locally to unravel this "mystery"...tsunami?, not even a decent tide in the Med, next time you will be saying it was done at night by aliens from outer space...he..he..

Emmanuel.L.(Malta)

Thanks. Perhaps you missed the tsunami one might, Emmanuel!

It got to be a large floating crane.No known such large floating crane (to my knowledge was in Malta,recently).No dockside crane is sited on this wharf.The cranes ,having not been operational in along time ,rusted all over are sited along the former drydock.
A mystery waiting to be solved.

David, LDT approximately 700 - 800 tonnes. Perhaps the lift was undertaken by a floating crane?

Anyone know IRMAK's weight (light displacement)?

The question is "how did they get her ashore", there is only a large dockside crane still in existence from the former MSCL (Malta Shipbuilding Co.Ltd.) and I don't know if it is operational ,and also if so, what are its loading limitations, The IRMAK is 1202grt.not a small load.
