Recently, India has always been blowing "demon wind". On May 3, 77 people were killed by a severe sandstorm in northwestErn India, and on April 17, a hurricane blew down Garden Rich Shipbuilding's 250-ton gantry crane. The collapsed gantry crane hit the dry dock below, which at the time contained a P-17A frigate under construction, India's most advanced frigate.

But the frigate was not hit
▲This was the case before the collapse
The gantry crane collapse accident occurred as early as April 17, but the news was blocked by the company's management and was only recently revealed. According to the shipyard, the collapsed gantry crane did not affect the progress of the P-17A frigate, but the subsequent construction process will also use the gantry crane, so the construction period will definitely be delayed.

What is even more embarrassing is that the locks of the dock where the frigates are located weigh 170 tons, and only the 250-ton gantry cranes that have collapsed can be hoisted, so the frigates in the dock cannot move a nest. And the new gantry crane takes at least 30 months from tender to installation and commissioning...
Previously, the construction project of the P-17A frigate was regarded by India as a "game changer", because in the construction process, India will for the first time adopt the integrated modular structure unit shipbuilding method, which can improve the efficiency of shipbuilding, and once this model matures, it will bring significant benefits to India's shipbuilding industry.
▲ But some Indian netizens said, why do I feel
Is this a Chinese gantry crane?
India's gantry crane collapsed, which must have been imported from China. This wordless argument is once again in India's military forums. Of course, if India really uses China's gantry crane, maybe nothing will happen. Because the United Kingdom and the United States have imported China's gantry crane equipment, the quality is absolutely guaranteed.

It was blown up, revealing two Chinese characters: Zhenhua
The situation at the time was embarrassing for thieves
India directly buys gantry cranes from China, I am afraid it will not be able to pull down. But India also has a curve to save the country. India knows that China's gantry crane is easy to use, so in 2017 it negotiated with the United Kingdom to buy the British second-hand "Goliath" gantry crane (1000 tons), and this gantry crane is of course also made in China.

In order to build the Queen Elizabeth-class aircraft carrier, the United Kingdom once ordered a set of gantry cranes produced by Zhenhua Heavy Industries from China. Now that Britain's aircraft carriers are built, there is no longer a need for 1,000-ton gantry cranes. And the equipment is not too wasteful, so the British and Indian are in a hurry, and they are discussing this deal!
It's really capable, there's a kind of you don't use it!
