Figee RH at the Maritiem Buitenmuseum

Europe, The Netherlands, Zuid Holland, Rotterdam, Leuvehaven, Maritiem Buitenmuseum, Figee RH crane, Crane operator (uncut)

A Figee RH type (#12) electric harbour top crane. It was built in 1959. Other numbers: max load 18 tons, cabin height above ground level: 18 m, the top of the boom can be raised to 45 m). The red colour of the crane flags that it once was once used by Pakhoed/Seabrex. It is still operational as shown here, lifting what seems to be a compressor.

In the BG is Five55 /Blaak Office Tower (Murphy/Jahn architects). It is one of the Rotterdam landmarks. It has a remarkable history. It was designed by Helmut Jahn with Inbo and 3BN as participating partners It was commissioned by Credit Lyonnais and eventually became one of the seats of Fortis, once a large Dutch/Belgian insurance and banking conglomerate. During the 2008 credit crunch, it went down, almost taking one of her recent acquisitions, Dutch system bank ABN/AMRO with it. Ii was bailed out and restruc-tured/cut up by the Belgian and Dutch governments. And the building was sold. The current owner is German investment group KanAm Grund ‘ which converted it two years ago into a multi-tenant (bedrijfsverzamelgebouw) office building.

Shot with the good ol' Tamron 28-300 (EF mount) coupled with the Lumix GX9 thru a 'dumb' Urth mount adapter, so manually focused.

This is number 1401 of Minimalism / explicit Graphism and 341 of Rotterdam Harbour & Industry.
