That's why you pick a bunch of them as a stack. Top container acts as a spreader while it's load sits on the one below it.

I get that. But the slings in that picture look like they're longer than the container, so you're looking at like a 70 degree or better sling angle. The lateral force on the container is pretty much negligible outside of the most extreme loading conditions.

Just make sure they use a kinetic rope, a soft shackle wrapped to a dring and a healthy “bump” too.

I think we need to send "bgadian" there to tell them everything they are doing wrong

If the bridge would've been built with more triangulation it would've withstood that little kiss from that dinghy.

I've seen these guys work to recover aircraft lost at sea.
Impressive doesn't begin to explain how quickly they work.

This being chit chat I’ll just derail this bitch. How do you say your screen name? I know it doesn’t say big gay dan, but when I see it that’s what it says.

From day 1 I've read it as Big Gay Dan, I even have a mental image to go along with it. I don't care if it isn't right or true he will always be Big Gay Dan to me.

Big Un' Nickname given to me by my first electrical superentendant, We were working in Meeker Co in the dead of winter, I still had a power lifters body add all the clothes we wore to stay warm I was even larger than most of the rest of the crew. One night I was trying to get a panel tied in, so we could turn the lights on and I broke the bolt off. The next morning we were disassembling the panel, Gerorge came stomping in and yelled at me"Bigun did you do this? From now on you use only your thumb and 2 fingers and a 3/8s ratchet!" My foreman looked over and said ' That's what he was using!" George looked a little stunned Then fired back "From now on only your thumb and finger and someone find a 1/4 set for him to use!"

WashPost: FBI Opens Criminal Probe Into Maryland Bridge Collapse
The FBI has opened a federal criminal probe into the March 26 bridge collapse in Maryland, the Washington Post reported on Monday, citing two U.S. officials familiar with the matter.
The investigation will at least partly focus on the Dali cargo ship and whether its crew left the port in Baltimore knowing the ship had serious problems with its systems, the Post said.
Representatives for the FBI could not be immediately reached to comment on the report.
The head of the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board separately told Congress last week that it had interviewed key cargo ship personnel as part of its investigation of the crash.
Work to clear the wreckage and restore traffic through the Mid-Atlantic state's shipping channel is ongoing after a massive container ship lost power and crashed into a support pylon
last month, sending the bridge collapsing into the Patapsco River and killing six bridge workers.

Looks like they have no shortage of cranes there now.
My buddy also said he heard they were only removing 100 containers from the ship, not unloading the whole thing.

I sware when I worked in the gulf, I saw several cranes lots larger than them on barges. I have some pics somewhere. Either I don’t remember right or they just don’t rate the good stuff.

Could just be that the Gulf is a long way from Baltimore

They have talked about one giant in some harbor on the east coast but it would take months to get it prepped to move

It also depends on how big the barge is that you're setting the scrap on. They could bring in a 7500 ton crane, but the size of the pieces might be too big to deal with.
I'd bet the piece in the last picture my buddy sent me is only a few hundred tons max. But size wise, it's pretty big.
