Heavy Load record at Moerdijk
Van der Vlist recently arranged the transportation and transshipment of two big units, 1 regenerator with dimensions 29,1 x 8,24 x 8,30 metres weight 410 tonnes and 1 reactor stripper with dimensions 32 x 7,50 x 7,00 metres weight 275 tonnes.
The special barge transport was arranged by Van der Vlist from Deggendorf, Germany to their Moerdijk Seaport . The barge ms Stark is specialises in project cargoes and heavy loads having its own ballast tanks enabling it to sink with 2,40 metres on the river below water level. This was needed to cross the several bridges on its way on the Danube river with a max depth of 2,60 metres and max height under the bridge of 6 metres.
In Moerdijk both pieces were transshipped on mv Happy Dynamic using the vessels gear with the assistance of Van der Vlist staff for hooking on/off . The Mv Happy Dynamic then sailed to St Petersburg from where the items have been moved onwards on pontoon with the final destination of Kazakhstan.
