SINGAPORE : Swire Projects, the projects and heavy lift shipping services division of Swire Shipping, has successfully completed a shipment of the YC Bora, a 53-meter fast support and intervention vessel, highlighting its expertise in floating cargo transportation.
The shipment was conducted in partnership with Peters & May, a global yacht transportation and logistics solutions provider.
In response to Peters & May’s requirement for a vessel capable of handling the lift of the 275-tonne boat at Walvis Bay, Namibia, Swire Projects was able to offer one of its versatile I-Type vessels, Pacific Integrity. The 19,600-deadweight vessel with 2 x 240t heavy lift cranes, was a good fit to complete this shipment safely and efficiently to Sharjah, UAE.
Mr. Namir Khanbabi, General Manager of Swire Projects commented on the shipment’s success, “We are proud of the execution of this complex vessel shipment, which reinforces Swire Shipping’s commitment to service excellence. The loading of the 275- tonne vessel required careful planning and execution given its substantial size and weight. To ensure the cargo’s stability during transit, a custom transport solution
comprising of tailored lifting, cradling, and lashing techniques was implemented. The success is a testament to our team’s expertise and dedication to consistently deliver specialised transport solutions with efficiency and precision anywhere in the world.”
Mr. Robert Blades, Global Commercial Sales Manager of Peters & May, added, “This successful shipment is a testament to the strong collaboration between Peters & May and Swire Projects. Our technical team’s expertise and detailed planning were pivotal in the operation. We shipped across to Walvis Bay one of our custom cradles, specifically designed by our technical team, ensuring the safe and stable transport of the YC Bora. Leveraging Swire Projects’ exceptional heavy lift capabilities allowed us to meet our client’s requirements with precision and care. We look forward to continuing our partnership and achieving more milestones together.”
