RICKMERS-LINIE has successfully
transported by sea a 485-tonne gas turbine and a 465-tonne
generator made by Siemens for a gas power plant
project in Hamitabat in the northwest of Turkey that is due to be
completed by the summer of 2017.
The
loading of the equipment, including the biggest gas turbine ever built by
Siemens which can generate up to 600MW, was loaded in Bremerhaven
from a barge onto the carrier's 30,000-dwt multipurpose heavy lift ship.
The
load is the first of four shipments and will be discharged in the port of Tekirdag,
southwest of Istanbul. The liner operator's specialised vessels will make three
more calls at Bremerhaven to load cargo for this project, it said in a
statement.
Navitrans,
agents for Rickmers-Linie in Turkey, won the contract following negotiations
with Bertling
Logistics in Istanbul, the nominated freight forwarder, which is
coordinating logistics for this project.
"No
loading operation is ever exactly like another and it is never a routine,"
said Rickmers-Linie
German sales chief Dirk Gindl.
"As
always, thorough preparation, taking into consideration the value, size and
weight of the cargo, was key to ensure a smooth and safe operation," he
said.
