Clark Ádám (crane vessel)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Clark Ádám is a crane vessel, specifically a floating sheerleg, built in 1980 in Budapest, Hungary, by the Hungarian Shipyards and Crane Factory (Hungarian: Magyar Hajó- és Darugyár; MHD) Angyalföld Division. It originally had a lifting capacity of 120 metric tons, gradually raised to 200 tons by 2006,[3] making it one of the largest in lifting capacity on Central European rivers.[4][5] It is mainly used for building bridges, but is also commissioned to assist salvage operations, as well as to launch hydrofoils. It has rescued several ships; in 2019 it raised the sunken Hableány from the Danube at Budapest. The vessel is named after Scottish engineer Adam Clark (1811–1866).[2]
