Dockwise Transports Four Of

Eight Cranes

Dockwise N.V. has successfully transported a fully-erected contain- er crane from Dubai to Los Angles.

The company was awarded a con- tract to transport e%ht container cranes, built by Noell in Dubai for

Los Angeles.

The transportation contract was to be carried out in two separate shipments by Tern and Teal, two of the four Swan class semi-sub- mersible, heavy-lift vessels in the

Dockwise fleet. This was the first time the company moved four giant container cranes transversely stowed on one .vessel. The cranes measure 351 ft. (107 m) high, with boom lengths of 406:8ft. (124 m).

Dockwise operates a fleet of 15 semi-submersible, heavy^lift ves- sels — nine of which are in the oil, gas and petrochemical industry; three of which focus on the crane and dredging material markets; two of which focus on the subsea cable laying market; and one which is involved in luxury yacht trans- portation.

THERE ISN'T ANY.
