Creator's Key Takeaways
This is the Oleg Strashno. The massive ship is 183 m long, 47 m wide, and has a draft of 13.5 m when working.
It is one of the fastest of its class. It has one of the largest cranes and above all it offers an amazing amount of versatility.
The lifting capacity is 5,000 tons, but I think well more than 90% of the lifts is less than 100 tons.
The Oleg Strashnoff crane ship has inspired other vessels including the Hiyang Shiu 2011 which was built in China based on Gustto MSC design.
