The mobile cranes (NOT the gantry cranes) have been moved to the quayside? The top image is from yesterday. For comparison, the bottom images is from April 7th.

Why?

We should look for the floating dock again, which can launch the modules. That has to be built first.

It's not yet officially possible to release it, but I got note, that the modules were realigned so that they are now in the correct order ... and no longer that way: I'm sure in a few days we get more info.

Why not transport them both on land and water so that they don't need to be realigned?

There is a method to the madness, there should be little doubt in anyone's mind that this is a very, very, carefully choreographed dance, no doubt! do I understand it??? no, but I do understand how these types of operations are planned down to the last dime, and unlike our friend who questions every little ding dong detail??? I have great confidence in the Chinese and US designers and builders.....

Actually why this all? I don't know ... it was only my interpretation of what i saw or was able to identify) at these latest images.
