SAL Heavylift, member to the Cargo Equipment Experts (CEE) network in Germany, transported three mobile harbour cranes from Antwerp to Abidjan and Tema on their 9,963-dwt Amoenitas. The complete shipment was stowed onboard in fully erected position and included 2x Mobile Harbour Cranes Type GHMK 6470B with specifications of 63,05 x 14,50 x 32,80 metres each and a weight of 445 tonnes each from Antwerp to Abidjan and 1x Mobile Harbour Crane Type GHMK 8412 with specifications of 72,35 x 15,00 x 47,20 metres and a weight of 641 tonnes for Tema.
This shipment utilised the newly introduced SAL Heavylift regular service to Africa linking West, South and East Africa with North Europe, the Arabian Gulf and Indian sub-continent.
Scheduled to provide clients a minimum of two sailings per month in each direction via The Cape of Good Hope, SAL's famous service quality will now reach even further and offer clients even more options including calls to either North/South America or Australia on inducement.
SAL views a regular Africa service as a logical extension of its existing regular North Europe to Far East service (via Suez) which has been providing clients with high quality engineered shipping services for over 35 years.
Said SAL Africa charter chief Jurgen Kuntz: 'Our reputation for strong, reliable and effective solutions is well-established. We have considerable knowledge of African operations and excellent partners across the continent and we hope to build on this with our new venture.'
