SAL Shipping: MV Svenja, Loading 8 Damen Tugs

Every square meter of deck space was used: exact planning of the stowage on deck guaranteed that MV Svenja could load eight tugs and later, in addition, an E-House – all in one voyage. In particular a perfect lifting arrangement had to be created to arrange a safe loading and discharging of the E-House amidst the already lashed tugs. The voyage started in Vietnam, where MV Svenja loaded 6 tugs in Haiphong and another 2 in Da Nang. The tugs had a weight of up to 500 t and measured up to 28.6 x 14.4 x 15.8 m
