Nudging them ashore
On 19 August 2016, special transport vessel (a converted tanker) Zhen Hua 20 is docked at Burchardkai with a cargo of three container bridges for the terminal.
She had to travel up the Elbe river at low tide and with the booms down in order to slip through under the power lines at Stade without shorting them out.
Next she was moored at the dolphins near the Finkenwerder Airbus works where she raised the booms one by one , as with the booms down, she would have been too wide to make it into Waltershofer Hafen basin to discharge her load.
The Zhen Hua's operation did not stop Burchardkai from continuing working two large container vessels in the remaining space.
