Panama registered Crane Ship Lara 1 seen in Liverpool Docks on 3 September 2013. I originally saw her in 2007 when she was known as Mersey Mammoth. She is based in Liverpool and often seen in and around the dock system including out in the river.

She is equipped with a electric offshore crane with a lifting capacity of  250 Ton @ 14.7 to 25.3 meters ranging to 120 Ton @ 40 meters.

She has two electrical driven Voith Schneider propulsion units, one underneath the bow and one underneath the stern. The crane, propulsion units and ships systems are powered by two 806 KW Ruston/Brush generator sets.

In 2011 she had extensive maintenance and repair work carried out at the Scheldepoort shipyard.

She is owned by Hapo International Barges BV based in Ridderkerk, The Netherlands which was founded in 1987. Their fleet  includes heavy cranes, crane barges, transport barges and a Jack-up barge, they operate worldwide.

    My interest in ships and the sea started back in 2006 when I worked for a couple of years  on the banks of the River Mersey. I have since been on a couple of cruises around the Med and in the Far East and have started to take more interest in researching and photographing some of the ships and other vessels seen on my travels.
