What Was the Project About?
Manuport Logistics NV, a proud member of the XLProjects Network (XLP), recently executed a challenging heavy-lift project involving the transport of three massive motors, each weighing 140 tons. The operation required precise planning and expert coordination from storage to final placement onboard the vessel.
How Was the Right Vessel Secured for the Oversized Cargo?
Finding a vessel capable of accommodating cargo of this scale was a complex task. Close collaboration and detailed discussions with the carrier ensured the selection of a vessel that could safely transport the motors within the project timeline.
What Specialized Equipment and Techniques Were Used?
At the terminal, the motors were moved using Self-Propelled Modular Transporters (SPMTs), which allow for controlled, precise movement of oversized cargo. Manuport Logistics worked alongside engineers to determine the exact positioning inside the vessel. Once aligned, a Gottwald crane was used to lift each motor onboard, ensuring every movement was calculated and safely executed.
What Does This Project Say About Manuport’s Expertise?
Projects involving heavy and oversized cargo like these motors are inherently complex. However, Manuport Logistics’ experienced team, led by Witze and Jo, showcased their professionalism and technical skill to deliver a seamless operation from start to finish. This successful project reinforces Manuport’s position as a trusted player in the project logistics and project cargo sector.
