HAMBURGER Hafen und Logistik AG (HHLA) has successfully loaded a 110-tonne ship propeller that
required the "HHLA IV" floating crane to move what is
effectively the world's biggest propeller onto its transport platform and then
bring it to the berth of the "Hyundai Supreme"
containership at the port of Waltershof.
The journey for the giant propeller
started from its production facility in Waren an der Muritz in
Mecklenburg-western Pomerania and transported by road to Hamburg where it was
temporarily stored at Hachmannkai quay close to the HHLA
Container Terminal Tollerort until it was ready for loading.
The jib of the floating crane raised
the propeller from the transport platform and carefully lifted it over the
towering side of the 300-metre-long containership. It was
a delicate operation that involved lowering the heavy load centimetre by
centimetre into the hold of the ship, reported Hellenic Shipping News.
The "Hyundai Supreme", a
5,000-TEU box ship, then departed from the port of Hamburg headed for
the Far East. The propeller on board is destined for the South Korean port of
Busan. From there, it will be transported on to the Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine
Engineering shipyard, where the first of eleven 23,000-TEU
container ships are being built for MSC.
