July 14 - Stella Line SA has handled the shipment of 18 empty steel tanks from Mexico's Veracruz Port to San Juan in Puerto Rico.

In the Mexican port, the 18 tanks, each of which weighed 70 tonnes and had the dimensions 41 m long x 3.5 m in diameter, were loaded onto trailers and brought alongside the vessel: Royal Wagenborg's multipurpose carrier Americaborg.

Two 170-tonne capacity Gottwald shore cranes, each equipped with two steel wires and nylon slings, were used to load the tanks onto the vessel before the cargo was lashed securely and shipped to Puerto Rico.
