Victor,

Just a comment on your title, it's not Argentina as the crane is in Argentia (Newfoundland & Labrador - Canada) working on the Husky Energy's West White Rose Project: http://westwhiteroseproject.ca/about/

I hope this helps.
Guy

Thank you for sharing the article. Truly an international forum here, with the post from the Netherlands about a British crane in Canada, and the clarification about Argentia and Argentina coming from France.
In the USA, the standard unit of measurement for big things is the "football field", so I got a kick out of the Canadian usage of the "hockey rink" as their unit of measurement.
Cheers, guys!

Very cool article Victor! Thanks for sharing! Sadly this article did not pop up in my CBC news feed.

@JohnGalt, that is very funny about the hockey rink reference, I am used to seeing football fields as well (we do have those in Canada as well).

Take care and all the best.
