The SAL Heavy Lift Maria recently witnessed the seamless loading of a Menck 3500S Hydraulic Hammer and its accompanying accessories in the bustling port of Hamburg. Freshly adorned with a stunning new paint job, the Maria had just returned from a meticulous overhaul at the shipyard in Gdansk.
Amidst winter’s chilly grip, the skilled crew of the vessel, in collaboration with the proficient team from Wallmann, executed the loading operation with impeccable precision. The entire process unfolded flawlessly under the watchful eyes of LS CARGO Hamburg’s representatives and the vigilant surveyors from German Transport Engineering.
The next port of call for the MV Maria was the vibrant Port of Bilbao, where additional components of the colossal hammer were meticulously loaded onto its deck. This strategic move sets the stage for the final leg of the journey, with the ultimate destination being Taichung, Taiwan. Here, the cargoes, including the Menck 3500S Hydraulic Hammer, are destined for the ambitious OWF Yunlin project currently underway at Skyborn Renewables.
This achievement underscores the maritime prowess of SAL Heavy Lift and their commitment to executing complex projects with utmost efficiency. The Menck 3500S Hydraulic Hammer, a heavyweight in the world of maritime equipment, now stands ready to play a crucial role in the ongoing development of the Yunlin offshore wind farm.
