This was back in 2006, but I did find it interesting to put some pictures on the web now. I was just operating a Demag AC 200-1 on the quay, to strip a barge for some equipment.

This had to be placed far in on site, I think we are talking about 200m. Notice that Saipem 7000 is not longside the quay, but laying on anchoring roughly 30m out. This had to do with depth of seabed.
