In late October, two tanker barges were loaded on board the company’s ship HLV Fairpartner in Nantong, China. One of the barges, which weighed more than 1,330 tons, had a record length of 135 meters, the longest piece of cargo ever lifted by a Jumbo vessel. The second barge was slightly smaller at 1,100 tons and had a length of 130 meters.
The barges, which were carried one on top of the other, were discharged in Rotterdam after a voyage around the Cape of Good Hope, the company said.
