A salvage operator was quoted in a news report as saying no barge crane in Egypt was big enough. The max gross weight for a 40' container is 67,000 pounds so most would be lighter. The problem is not so much the weight, but at the length of boom required, the moments would be enormous. The ship is almost 200' wide, can you imagine a 25 ton lift on the end of a horizontal 100' jib?
