The Dutch heavy-lift specialist Wijsmuller Transport B.V. has signed an exclusive agreement with the Russian Baltic Shipping Company in St. Petersburg for the worldwide commercial management of two heavy-lift vessels, the Stakhanovets Kotov and Stakhanovets Ermolenko.

Wijsmuller Transport now operates a fleet of nine semisubmersible heavy-lift vessels. The fleet is composed of five vessels of the Super Servant class, which can lift cargoes up to 13,000 tons, three vessels of the Mighty Servant class with a capacity up to 25,000 tons and the Russian-owned Transshelf which is able to carry 30,000 tons.
