From Poland to Australia
Germany-based Dship Carriers has transported seven urgently needed straddle carriers from Gdynia, Poland to the Port of Brisbane, Australia. Each straddle carrier had a weight of over 71 t and oversized measurements of 11 x 13 x 5.25 m.
The cargo was shipped on behalf of the client Kalmar on the multi-purpose heavy-lift vessel “MV Mick”. The order for this large cargo volume was placed at a short notice, meaning that less than one week remained between booking and departure.
After the Dship team finished the sea fastening operations, the “MV Mick” could set sail according to schedule and arrived punctually at the Port of Brisbane, Australia. “Not so bad, as we like to say,” said Lars Feller, global vice president, Dship Carriers. (cd)
