- The huge grapple claw is being readied for deployment at the massive Francis Scott Key Bridge Collapse Site following the accident involving the Dali.
I've added some imagery from my Golden Ray playlist to show how this piece of equipment is used during operations. It's fitment to the Chesapeake 1000 will be something to see when it is deployed by Donjon's team.
My RUclips video link to see the claw working
fitted to the Weeks 533- • CLAWS AND OIL?? on Nov...

There are some amazing photos on this site.

One feature of The Craw is that the 4 fingers have 4 separate rams operating them. It's like the difference between having fingers or a mitten, to allow getting a good hold on an irregular object. Lots to like about the design.
Very interesting information. Thank you.
Thank you for covering the daunting feat of clearing this channel. Live cams cover one angle but you show us what we couldn't see via another angle. THANK YOU!
Our pleasure!
For those of us watching from the landlocked states, we appreciate the up close video showing the scale of all the equipment in comparison to human beings.
Thanks a bunch for showing "The claw". Looking forward to your next video.
A really impressive piece of equipment. Great to see the excellent close up shots too. Thanks to the photographer for sharing. Thanks Andy, great report.
Well done for your work covering the progress of the recovery operation. The story seems to have been forgotten by the Mainstream Media.
I saw the red clamshell bucket last Sunday on the dock beside a 4 wheeled dock crane it was absolutely enormous looked liked it could have picked up 2 of those dock cranes in 1 shot this equipment is absolutely amazing
What an impressive operation. It's good to see that assets can be allocated where they are needed. I'm sure there's a cost involved, but the availability is most important. Thank you Sir
Yes, exactly
Thanks again for the great coverage!
You bet!
Love the Up dates, thank you!❤️❤️❤️
Glad you like them!
Enjoying seeing a different perspective of the bay, equipment and the whole operation. Thank you.'
Thanks Captain Andy! Appreciate your well tailored reporting, informative, concise, documented. Music is pretty cool too. Sounds like ZZ Top. Keep 'em coming bro!
Your videos are fascinating to watch. Give so much more detail than the snippets we get on the news. Thanks for this great coverage.
Much appreciated!
The Crew on the Chessie call it 'Gus'. True story.
That's such a cool appropriate name for it. It's like a name for a villain in a kids cartoon except now it's using it's powers for good 😅
The Claw was Welded to the Barge.Thanks Captain Andy.
WTF
@@davidsignor7931 Keeps it stable. Easily cut loose.
@@JoeLinux2000 don't understand
@@davidsignor7931 the time it takes to grind the welds off is far less than the time it takes to set the claw up rigging wise. things like that are very hard to secure with chains vs just welding it down to the deck
The Claw is coming .YESSSSSSSS..
As always awesome job Andy!
Thanks again! My man Kirk!
Thanks for the update.
Thank you!
Hi Andy, I have some great photos along with video of that "claw" in the St Simons sound when it was doing final cleanup of the remains of the Golden Ray from the St Simons pier...Moreover, I went to the Jekyll Island pier so I could get imagery of both sides of the cleanup...The herculean effort cutting up of the Ray and its cleanup is something I will never forget...
I remember very vividly watching the vehicles been wrenched up
Amazing video.
Glad you think so!
The claw looks like it could pick some heavy wreckage,workn fast,good luck!!
Another great report Capt'n. Thank you sir.
Thanks for the video Andy
Thanks for all the video and telling us what is going on and describing what the claw is and how to get ready to hook it up
No problem 👍
THAT’S a claw! Wow!
Please show another view of the sparrows point works and some views around Dali’s bow. Thanks for doing this for us.
I watch all of Minorcan Mullet videos.
👍🤠 Andy!
Love your videos.
Thank you!
Very interesting and informative
Pençe müthiş bir makina ,korkutucu bir gücü var,
4:00 - The workers show how big the C1000 is!
Wow!!! Impressive!!!!!!
Thank you so much 😀
Man, the size of the hydraulic cylinders on that thing! 😮
I didn’t see anything that looked like hydraulic lines in the shot of the fitment from the other channel; I assume it’d take some good sized hoses to move those cylinders at more than inches per hour.
I was wondering about that too.
THE CLAW ☝️🫤🫤🫤🫤🫤🫤🫤🫤🫤🫤🫤🫤🫤🫤🫤🫤🫤🫤🫤🫤
I am curious why they would fit it to the 1000, as it has no capability to slew. To drop a load once gripped by the claw, they will have to bring a barge under the load each time and remove it. Either that or move the crane, which seems like more of a job.
That claw is pretty impressive. Thanks for sharing the video. It's good to see everyone working to get the port totally re-opened and the Dali moved to a place where her damage can be repaired.
You bet
The Chesapeake moved onto the site during Monday, complete with the claw.
Not sure if it's been used yet.
Nooo! Not the Claw!
Yes . . . . The Craw!!
@@GSMSfromFV Charlie Chan, referenced in Toy Story.
theres more heavy lift assets coming up from the gulf we should be seeing them in the next week or too it takes 20-30 days to move these machines from the gulf
After hardship there is ease, after hardship there is ease,After that leave everything to the creator of the universe....☝️☝️☝️☝️👌👌🤠
That huge claw looks like it has some hydraulic actuators to open and close it, but I can't tell where the power comes from. are those hydraulic lines snaking down from the crane? Or is there an electric hydraulic pump somewhere on the claw?
Actually seen the claw in action on someone else’s live stream. As I was explaining it to my kid they were moving some large pieces and one came off. We thought it hit a tug but guess not that close
Please keep up the nice work of Reporting This major clean up, because I want all angles including the Bow of Dali, I want to see the day Dali is Moved. Then, I want to stop watching after all the clean up is done and the missing guys has been found and the Dali is gone! That's when I give up. I want to see progress! Thanks again for being involved in this as a kind of Reporter. Terry
Not sure I'm a reporter. I'm decent at imagery and commenting on what I see. Thanks.
That's a big-un.
What was the spud for that they were welding up on the barge?
looked to be the Chessy. Maybe extending it for deeper water
A big as the claw is, it only takes a small bite at a time out of the bridge.
I’m actually a bit surprised that the giant grapple is to be fitted on the Chesapeake 1,000. Capacity wise it’s a smart move. Both pieces of equipment match up very well. I was thinking the grapple would be attached to a crane like the Weeks 533.The 533 has slewing capability. Full 360 degrees rotation of the boom.I believe that would be excellent for loading up barges without having to reposition frequently. The only problem is that the Weeks 533 might be short on capacity. It’s got 500 tons SWL but that is probably not enough.Keep in mind that huge grapple weighs 200 tons alone. I’m pretty sure that will result in a substantial de-rating of the 533. That said, we will probably be seeing some really ingenious methods, by which the Chesapeake 1,000 gets the job done in a productive way.I have no doubt that the crews on site will adapt and improvise if necessary to successfully complete this project.
With the scale of the Chesapeake they might lift stuff, slide a barge underneath, load it, then move it away. That has to be easier than dancing the crane badge with hundreds of tons on the end.
the chesapeake is a baby in the heavy lift world theres even bigger cranes on their way up the coast right now I think they might be planning to clear the parts on the ship in 1 lift
Yes indeedy. RUclips seems to FROWN ON some things. Don'tcha love that expression ???? FROWN ON . . . FROWN ON . . . FROWN ON.
What about the missing bodies?
Do the know the location of the remaining vehicles still under water?
These teams have a good sense of it's location.
Did the claw come up the ICW on a barge?
If it came from the Gulf, which is the last place I knew of it's location, it came by barge on the outside. Around Florida and up the East Coast.
Is there a concern with the high pressure gas line and the claw ?
Other sources say the line was purged and is not in service at this time
1:11 I'm trying to get a sense of scale. What's the diameter of the pipes supporting The Claw?
all hail The Claw
Look at the Deadrise photo at 2:20 in Andy's video. You'll see the claw and a man with one pipe. This might give you some sense of scale.
Curious about the weight of the huge claw itself.
WilliamHall9204 in his comment above said the claw weighs 200 tons.
Andy can you see if they are checking all that debris the clam is pulling out for human remains ?
I'm sure of it
Is this claw related to the claw in Toy Story fame?
Yes, but a reference to the old Charlie Chan movies - "The Craw".
Oh, nice catch. I never saw that one.
Guss
I still like THE CLAW. Man it's massive
Did I miss the news or is there still a body down there? I don’t want to be too gruesome but I’d hate to imagine what that claw would do to a human body.
The crews will do everything possible to recover the missing with as much dignity as they can. There are two missing and that is on the minds of those working the site.
That might be one motivation for limiting drones. If they accidentally snag a body, they want to censor images of it.
Why didn't the Dahlia have tugs that night pulling it through the channel???
That's a question that will probably be asked by many more people in the future. Some will say it wasn't necessary, some will say it was never a problem before and some may say the danger wasn't realized.
The maritime laws didn't require it to be escorted by tugs in that channel. If it isn't required, the ship owners aren't going to spend the money to hire tugs. Wonder if those rules might change.
Given the speed the D was moving tugs wouldn’t be effective. What I understand D as loaded is as massive as a nuclear aircraft carrier. See timbatatsea - tug driver and has 2 D videos re tugs.
@@MinorcanMullet Given that there was electrical problems even before the Dali left the dock, it seems having tows would have been the way to go.
It looks like that big grapple is in the process of doing nothing.
yhea- that's why it's being readied.
@@MinorcanMullet Listening skills
I’m sure you said, but I missed it…how much does the claw weigh? Is it our friend?LOL
200t
O
Not the right equipment for the job.
😡 your upload is old❗️
I'm slow too.
Don't you think that Claus going to scoop up the Dead bodies?
Very good video.
Thanks!
What about the dead bodies with their claw huh you scooping everything all up
Question mark you scooping up all the dead body right
🤔🤔
I'm sure the upmost care will be exercised with the most dignity possible when they are reached. They have been in the water for a long time and the marine environment can be very cruel.
👍👍👍👍👍👍
What company manufactured the "Claw"?
Good question. I don't have an answer.
