August 7 - Netherlands headquartered heavy lift shipping line Jumbo has transported three over-dimensional storage bullets and three heavy storage tanks from Ortona, Italy to Coatzacoalcos in Mexico.
Jumbo mobilised its heavy lift vessel Jumbo Jubilee to transport the six cargoes and says that with the maximum possible draft of a vessel at Ortona being 5.65 m, it was a tight squeeze for the Jumbo Jubilee.
The three storage bullets each weighed 570 tonnes and measured 85.3 m x 7.5 m x 9.4 m. The units needed to be stowed on deck and in order to accomplish this, Jumbo extended the vessel's deck using tweendecks.
The over-dimensional cargoes will be used in the Etileno XXI Project for the production of petrochemicals.
