Chipolbrok’s latest 62,000 dwt vessel, De An, has carried out its maiden voyage as it loaded the first door-to-door shipment from China to the Egypt Suez wind power project.
12 complete wind turbine units were loaded in Taicang destined for the Suez Wind Power Project aboard the vessel.
Located near Ras Ghareb and Ras Shokeir, the 1,100 MW project is being developed by PowerChina HuaDong Engineering Corporation (HDEC), which is responsible for the design, procurement, construction, commissioning, handover and warranty services for the whole project.
De An has five hatches/holds with a total length of 199.9 m, a breadth of 32.36 m, and a maximum draft of 13.5 m. Maximum lifting capacity is rated at 300 tonnes.
After returning to Chinese ports, Chipolbrok’s vessel is now gearing up to carry out another project cargo delivery from Yangzhou to Jubail, Saudi Arabia.
HLPFI reported in September 2025 that Chipolbrok’s Kraszewski completed a complex voyage linking Asia, Europe and back again, carrying steel, wind energy equipment, cranes and other heavy units.
