The
world’s largest heavy lift ship enters service
Posted: 12 May 2004
Heavy lift specialist Jumbo has entered its heavy lift vessel MV
“Jumbo Javelin” newbuild into service, after having
been mated with cranes successfully and passing final sea trials
in the North Sea last month.
With its 1,600 tonnes lift capacity, a hold space of 19,000 cubic
metres and a main deck of 2,650 square metres, MV “Jumbo Javelin”
is without contest the largest heavy lift ship in its class in the
world.
She is the first in a series of two new ships ordered by Jumbo.
MV “Jumbo Javelin” will be joined by its twin sister
vessel MV “Fairpartner” in September. The ships will
boost the Jumbo fleet to a total of twelve units.
On its commercial maiden voyage “Jumbo Javelin” loads
a combination of power plant material and petrochemical equipment
from Dutch and Italian ports for destinations in Bahrain, Qatar
and Iran.
The heaviest cargo item is a reactor column - weighing 620 tonnes
weight and measuring 61.060 x 9.736 x 9.878 metres - destined for
the styrene monomer plant of the 9th olefin project in Bandar Assaluyeh,
Iran.
