Spy mission in Busan ;-)

I'm working in a huge factory and I'm responsible for logistics. I really like all sorts of things like reach-stackers, containers, RMGs and other logistics equipment.

In 2013 I visited Korea again. And when there was a free time, I asked my Korean friend to take me with him to Busan port. We carry a lot of cargo from this port and that's why I wanted to see with my own eyes how and what was arranged there. In fact, foreigners like me do not let me into the port. Moreover, they are forbidden to take pictures at the port. Nevertheless, my friend somehow wringed an access the piers. I did the photos very carefully, making sure that there were no representatives of the port administration or security service around.

Here I was able to capture the process of unloading with the help of portal cranes of the vessel that came to the port.

While the operator of the crane and the crew of the ship left for lunch, I climbed under the tap and took this photo. Actually, I had a treacherous mission - at that time we also worked on the installation of gantry cranes on the container site of our plant. We did not have much experience in this matter. Of course, we worked through this issue with specialists, but their proposals were very diverse, and we had a strong suspicion, which turned into the belief that the attracted specialists were lobbyists of one or another producer.

In this regard, I was instructed to carefully study the Korean experience of using large-capacity lifting equipment.

That's why I took advantage of the opportunity to take pictures of the cranes from different angles - which spreaders are used, which manufacturer's engines are installed, what should be the working out of the consoles, what cable drums are used, how the cable is laid, etc.
