One of the Jumbo Kinetic’s recent voyages demonstrates more than our height of engineering, it also shows our highly flexible shipping solutions for complex projects that require the best engineered heavy transport solutions worldwide. The challenge was to transport three fully erected single boom shipyard cranes, manufactured by Haixi Heavy Machinery Company in China for the Italian shipbuilding group Fincantieri from Qingdao, China to three different Fincantieri shipyards in Italy for our client LiHua Logistics Company.

The team engineered this shipping solution in less than three months. The cranes were particularly narrow; one of them was only nine metres wide at its base, therefore, stability of the cranes was critical during the lift. The Jumbo Kinetic, only one of three vessels in the world capable of this project, loaded the cargo with its own deck cranes – each lift as a dual-lift – into its cargo hold.
