SAL: MV Lone Loading Shiploader, Germany

MV Lone has loaded the heaviest cargo to date in the Neu­städter Hafen of Bremen, Germany: a shiploader of 775 mtons, measuring 57.89 × 23.20 × 34.80 m. The shiploader had been built directly on site at the Port, which is Europe's biggest port for heavy cargo. The biggest challenge was to keep the shiploader's balance while being lifted: To generate counterweight, special water pockets, each capable of holding up to 10 mtons additional weight, were fixed on the cargo and were regulated during the whole lifting operation. In this way, a smooth and safe loading was ensured. The process could be completed successfully in only three hours due to the excellent cooperation of all parties involved. After two more days of securing the cargo, MV Lone made her way to Port Cartier/Canada, where the shiploader was safely discharged.
