barge-mounted crane

The barge-mounted crane lowers the 6-ton winch for the ROV down to the stern deck of the BRP Hydrographer Presbitero. The yellow Global Explorer ROV sits on the dock in front of the gangplank, awaiting its turn to be lifted onto the ship. Image courtesy of 2007: Exploring the Inner Space of the Celebes Sea.
