Major damage to property
Crane on ship brings down harbor crane on pier
A highly spectacular accident has occurred in the port of Keelung, the second most important port in Taiwan. A freighter loaded with a harbor crane hit one of the large harbor cranes on land and caused it to fall (see video). This caused enormous material damage.
The incident occurred on Monday at around 2 p.m. local time, but the video footage has only just been released. They show how the stern of a harbor crane transported on the freighter Yuzhou Qihang collides with a gantry crane on Pier 20 of the port.
The huge harbor crane then toppled over and crushed a container on the pier. Fortunately, no people were injured in the incident. The freighter Yuzhou Qihang was traveling at a speed of just 3.5 kilometers per hour when the accident occurred.
The local authorities estimate the damage caused by the collision at just under 8.6 million euros. The investigation into the incident is still ongoing.
