Two ODCs Loaded at Hamburg Port
On 25 April, two Over-Dimensional-Cargos (ODC) tanks manufactured by Chart Ferox were loaded by Wallmann & Co., the long-established Hamburg company specializing in handling heavy lift cargoes. With a length of almost 50 metres and a width of more than 6 metres, following brief preparation for loading, these were heaved one after the other into the cargo hatch of the motor coaster MOANA. Two Liebherr LHM 600 cranes were used for the tandem loading process. This commenced with the positioning of the first tank on the port side of the loading hatch. The second tank was then precisely placed to starboard alongside the first. Loading, stowing and securing these gigantic tanks, each measuring 49.2 x 6.0 x 6.2 metres and weighing 234 tons, required precise maneuvering to the last centimetre.
