UTC Overseas, Inc. has overseen the transport of 81 SENNEBOGEN cranes from Germany to the U.S. in a move the Houston-headquartered forwarder said had set a “new standard for complexity and scale”. The mammoth move from the port city of Bremerhaven to Charleston in the southeastern state of South Carolina was coordinated by UTC’s Heavy Equipment Division. NYK Line’s RoRo vessel Leo Leader was chartered to ship the #cranes. The project called for “meticulous planning and coordination” to ensure the safe delivery of the cargo, which comprised 79 assembled units, two unassembled units and static equipment weighing a combined 10,000 freight tons. The loading operation, which entailed each unit being carefully placed within inches of each other to optimize the available deck space, was completed in just one day. “The loading process presented unique challenges, with every piece of machinery requiring specific positioning on the vessel,” said Patrik Meyer, manager of heavy equipment development for UTC. “UTC has moved volumes of Sennebogen machines over the years and was familiar with each model, aiding in the proper placement of the valuable cargo. Blueprints were sent ahead of time, allowing for exact planning to ensure each unit could maneuver moving on and off the vessel, always considering the safety of the crew and equipment.” The transatlantic crossing whipped up some formidable challenges, as the project team grappled with violent gales and a last-minute change to the final destination that called for a swift rewrite of the paperwork to pass through customs. The team had scoped out the port at Charleston before the #vessel arrived, resulting in a “targeted, smooth discharge process”. Multiple teams were deployed in shifts to unload the cranes, an operation that began at 7am and concluded at 10pm the same day. “The successful RoRo charter of the Leo Leader stands as a testament to the expertise and dedication of UTC in tackling challenging logistical operations,” said Hans J Meyer, COO of heavy equipment and specialized cargo at UTC. “The six-month planning process, attention to detail, and longstanding partnership with Sennebogen, the shipping lines, and the port all played pivotal roles in the operation’s success.” **UTC Overseas, Sennebogen, NYK Bulk & Projects Carriers and bremenports GmbH & Co. KG will be exhibiting at Breakbulk Americas 2024 on 15-17 October at the George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston. #breakbulk #breakbulkamericas #bbam2024

BBC Chartering has taken delivery of the first in a series of 15 new “LakerMax” multipurpose triple deckers, a new generation vessel type the carrier has billed as a “heavyweight champion of project cargo transportation”. MV BBC LEER – named after the town where BBC Chartering is headquartered – was due to be dispatched at the end of May by China’s Taizhou Sanfu Heavy Industry to its owners, Briese Schiffahrts GmbH & Co. KG. The ship will enter a long-time charter with BBC Chartering for worldwide trading. The remaining 14 vessels are slated for delivery by 2026. “Whilst the global multipurpose fleet is ageing, this investment by the Briese Group is a clear commitment to renewing our fleet with modern tonnage and maintaining our market position,” said Ulrich Ulrichs, CEO of BBC Chartering. The LakerMax series of 13,000 DWT #heavylift vessels are equipped with two Liebherr Group LS 250 shipboard #cranes located portside to provide a lifting capacity of up to 500 metric tons. The bridge and crew quarters are positioned at the front of the vessels. “This set-up creates an impressive, unobstructed weather deck of more than 2,800 square meters. That’s 30 percent more than the previous F500 vessel class and 90 percent more than the classic EF type,” Ulrichs said in a video to present the LakerMax series. The two cargo holds are box-shaped and offer an area for almost 26,000 cubic meters of cargo on a covered floor space of nearly 5,000 square meters. The main large triple-deck cargo hold, meanwhile, can house #cargo units under deck up to 104.3 meters long and 18.2 meters wide. The #vessels are powered by a 6,000 kW MAN B&W main engine to allow for eco-friendly speeds of between 13 and 15 knots. “The capacity on offer makes it one of the most efficient #multipurpose heavy-lift vessels in the market,” Ulrichs said. The new series will join BBC Chartering’s existing fleet of more than 140 multipurpose heavy-lift vessels, which range from 4,000 to 40,000 DWT and boast lifting capacities of up to 800 metric tons. **BBC Chartering is a regular exhibitor at Breakbulk events. The next event in the calendar is Breakbulk Americas 2024 on 15-17 October at the George R Brown Convention Center in Houston, Texas. #breakbulkamericas #bbam2024
