Description

[edit]

Zhen Hua 33 is a Chinese-flagged semi-submersible heavy lift ship designed to carry large cargo, including other vessels and offshore rigs, on her 185 m × 43 m (607 ft × 141 ft) cargo deck.

Stockholm "Golden Bridge"

[edit]

In early 2020, Zhen Hua 33 became semi-famous in Sweden for carrying Guldbron[2] to replace the old traffic interchange at Slussen in Stockholm, manufactured by China Railway Shanhaiguan Bridge Group on behalf of Skanska, the contractors for the remodelled Slussen. The 140 m (460 ft) long, 3,700 t (3,600 long tons; 4,100 short tons) bridge was intended to travel from China to Sweden in around seven weeks, arriving in mid-February 2020, but was delayed off the coast of Spain for almost a month due to bad weather in the Atlantic Ocean.[3] She was eventually able to continue towards Sweden at the beginning of March,[4] and arrived in Stockholm on 11 March 2020.[5]
