On February 7, 1997, a ship struck a Krupp crane at the Port of Oakland. The bow hit one of the waterside legs just above the portal beam, about 45’ above the rail. The impact pushed the waterside legs 35” to the right and 30” toward the land. Because the wheels remained on the rail, the sill beams at the waterside and landside partially separated from the equalizer beams.
