Intermarine gets fifth D-Class ship from Portugal
New Orleans breakbulk and heavy-lift specialist Intermarine has taken delivery of the fifth in a series of six “D-Class” heavy-lift ships from Portuguese shipyard Estaleiros Navias de Viana do Castelo.
Industrial Dolphin was delivered in mid-October and was immediately put into service and positioned to El Ferrol in Spain, where the vessel loaded a number of wind turbine components for Houston. Upon completing discharge operations in Houston, the vessel joined Intermarine's services fleet to South America.
The 8,000-deadweight-ton D-class ships can lift up to 500 metric tons with their twin cranes. They are similar to the seven C-Class ships built by the same yard in 2000-2002, but whose lifting capacity is limited to 400 tons.
