Flexity 105 arrives !
Sunday the 2nd of April 2006 ... The Hual America
safely delivers 105 to the wharf at Outer Harbour.
Two vessels approach the basin. ( 105 is in the ship on the
left ).
Why doesn't something like this tip over? (There's only 10 metres or
so underwater)
The ship reached the dock at 6:10pm and after a lot
ropes were passed to and fro the
"America" was secure and the ramp at the stern was
lowered. The ramp took about
15-20 minutes to reach ground level and soon
afterwards a large front end loader was
driven off. After a flurry of activity over what
appeared to be a spill on board a yellow
prime-mover and large fork lift moved the Flexity onto
the wharf.
Once 105 appeared, it was only a matter of minutes until it was
safely on the
wharf, the fork-lift towing and the yellow truck probably braking
the descent.
