Multipurpose (MPP) and project heavy lift carrier, AAL Shipping, in partnership with Peters & May, has just transported 38 private yachts – the largest of which was 32 m long – on deck in a single sailing from Fort Lauderdale, US, to Southampton, UK, and Antwerp, Belgium.
According to AAL, the cargo covered an area of 2,500 m2 – about half the size of a soccer pitch – and was carried aboard the 31,000 dwt AAL Melbourne.

Marc Willim, General Manager of AAL’s Chartering Department, commented: ”At a time when the global shipping community is concerned about the ability of MPP carriers to deliver service and schedule integrity, this sailing examples AAL’s own boosted frequency through the US.”
As reported previously in BBN, the company will have multiple MPP vessels calling to the US West Coast, Gulf and East Coast Port in June.
AAL is one of the world’s leading breakbulk and heavy lift project cargo operators, offering a ‘total multipurpose solution’ of flexible and competitive Chartering, Liner, and Semi-Liner services for its customers – connecting Asia, Oceania, Middle East, Europe, Africa, and the Americas.
