    Thank you C/O however you are correct in saying that that book is not always correct. Unfortunately for those of us pulling levers we are not always in the perfect world that the book assumes and you are right to question it with the experience you have gained through your career. No apologies...

    BIG lift!

    Placement of the lifting lugs is determined by the location of the Center of Gravity, which is determined by the engineers (yea I know that is a scary thought) that designed the vessel. Be that as it may each crane will have X (ideally 50% each) amount of the load when it is horizontal, once...
