A heavylift crane collapsed in Rostock, Germany, during load tests at the Liebherr construction yard. The incident occurred on May 2, 2020, when the crane broke off while testing a load of 5,500 tons, causing the upper half of the crane to tip over and smash onto the offshore installation vessel Orion 1.
The ship, being built by Cosco (Qidong) Offshore, was scheduled to be delivered later that month to DEME Offshore for work on the Moray East offshore wind farm in Scotland.
Four people were injured in the accident, and the crane suffered significant damage, with investigations into the damage to the crane and the vessel ongoing.
This was the second accident involving Liebherr cranes in the Rostock port within a short period.
