Pictures has been taken few years back from Hong Kong. That was the first time i see this monster in person. Very impressive machine. But don't know why they use it for harbor work...Think





I also found a similar video on youtube. Looks like the same machine, and same place. However, the person who uploaded it said it is filmed in the United States.
What do you guys think?

Thanks for posting the picturesWink Its probably not his video because he thinks he took it in New Jersey but he is not sure, the skyline in the back-round isn't even a new jersey skyline.

That's ok. I not trying to say or do anything. I'm just wondering is it the same 5230.
Anyways, i can't see the video now, maybe he blocked me, or anything..Sad

I'm pretty sure the machine is the same one from the video. the barge has the same pilings and the backdrop seems like one of Hong Kong

Great photos and video. Thanks for sharing. As to why they are using it, I would guess that the price was right. Thanks again. G

Great pics! It has to be in Hong Kong....Theres no way you can put a machine that close to the edge of a barge and not tie it down. They get away with that in China! That Op is crazy!!!!!
