Preparations are in full swing throughout the port of Kiel for the oncoming winter period as the 2,050 GT, 88m long and 13 m wide cargo ship Julieta arrived with a load of 3,200 tons of gritting salt from Morocco.

Hans-Martin Burmann said, “It is both economical as well as ecologically sound to transport bulk cargo like this by ship.
