Heavy-lift crane collapsed on an offshore wind farms construction vessel ORION I on May 2 in Rostock, Germany.

Crane collapsed, the ship reportedly was seriously damages, several people sustained slight injures. ORION I was built in China, but crane was installed in Rostock, it was built by Liebherr, so it’s not known yet what caused collapse, ship’s faults including crane basement, or crane itself, or maybe something went wrong during tests.
