Task & Details:
When tasked with transporting a massive 110-tonne catamaran ferry from Norway’s remote fjords to the bustling port of Guangzhou, NMT Projects was up to the challenge. Our pre-planning foresight and execution expertise delivered this oversize, heavy-lift cargo seamlessly across continents.
Client Background
NMT Projects specializes in handling complex marine logistics and oversized cargo movement. We were engaged for the monumental task of shipping a passenger catamaran from the fjords of Hyen, Norway to Guangzhou, Hong Kong.
The Challenge
The operation’s biggest hurdle? The catamaran’s starting point in the remote, rugged Norwegian fjords made loading it onto a vessel an immense undertaking requiring specialized tug boats and equipment.
Our Unstoppable Execution
Meticulous pre-planning was paramount. NMT Projects ensured all necessary materials and a suitable vessel were prepared and positioned precisely. With expert maneuvering, the 110-tonne catamaran was towed out to the ship’s anchorage point and loaded seamlessly.
The Results
NMT Projects’ relentless preparation and deft execution paved the way for a flawless trans-continental journey. The catamaran was loaded, shipped across open waters, and discharged in Guangzhou without any issues – a testament to our ability to conquer any terrain.
“Due to the remote location, it required a lot of pre-planning. The vessel needed to be fully prepared in order to receive the catamaran alongside.” – NMT Projects
