TheTamshee say: wind power is big business in Denmark. While parked at the quayside, we are getting surrounded by these gaint wind turbines. After construction they are transported to the dock with these clever wagons which have the conventional truck cab and hoisting trailer at the front, with an additional tail section-which is totally independant, and operated by remote control for the offloading operation. The turbine gearbox assembly is sandwiched between the two trailer sections, then lifted clear of the ground with the use of hydraulic pistons. 
Thus, No cranes required to offload these gearbox assemblies. This is good for the trucking company because the driver does not have to hang around waiting for a harbour crane.
TheTamshee: enjoys watching the changing sky at night. Esbjerg harbour. The Drifting Clouds have the ability to hypnotize the tired mind. Relax & Enjoy
The Old Water Tower was built 1896-1897 on a Bronze Age burial mound above the newly constructed harbour. Since the tower is built upon at the height of the city, facing the sea, it soon became the landmark of Esbjerg. TheTamshee says: the troops on board the NBW could see the water tower in the near distance but due to shore leave restrictions we were only aloud to stroll the harbour area.
TheTamshee says: Lead Tug Maersk Transporter approaches Fwd Bow for hook up of the towing pennant.
