Daewoo Heavy Industries era

In 1997 Daewoo-Mangalia Heavy Industries or DMHI was formed as a joint venture between South Korean company Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering and the 2 Mai Shipyard in Mangalia.[2] Since it was founded the company built over 127 new ships and repaired around 300 ships.[3]

Operations

The shipyard is spread over an area of 980,000 m2 (10,500,000 sq ft), has three dry docks with a total length of 982 m (3,222 ft) and 1.6 km (0.99 mi) of berths.[4] In 2002 the company delivered two tankers of 42,500 DWT to the Norwegian company Kleven Floro used for the transportation of orange juice.[5] One of the main customers of the shipyard is the German company Hamburg Süd which ordered six container ships of around 6,000 TEU each, and seven ships of 7,100 TEU each as well as four tugboats.[6] The company also signed in 2005 an agreement with Mediterranean Shipping Company S.A., NSB Niederelbe, Gebab and Conti Reederei companies for the construction of 12 container ships of around 5,000 TEU each that will be delivered in stages until 2011 at a total cost of US$1.1 billion.[6]

Goliath Crane

In 2008 the shipyard bought the largest gantry crane in North America, the Goliath Crane, formerly located in Quincy, Massachusetts, from the General Dynamics company.[7] Built in 1975, the crane, nicknamed Goliath, Big Blue, The Dog or Horse, has a height of 100 m (330 ft), a span of 126 m (413 ft), a weight of 3,000 t (6,600,000 lb) and a lifting capacity of 1,200 t (2,600,000 lb).[8] The cranes's re-assembly has been under way since March 2009.

gollark: Not really. Most sanely configured stuff ignores x-forwarded-for and whatnot from clients.
gollark: I looked up the extension in question though, and it does sort of make sense what it does.
gollark: It wouldn't be a HTTP header, that's the wrong layer.
gollark: Oh, I see, it pretends to be a reverse proxy and some poorly configured thing accepts it.
gollark: What do you mean "editable HTTP request IP headers"? Why would browsers send their IP as a header?
