TOS Ship Delivery “Project Cargo” to South-America
A special ship delivery project left TOS’ homeport of Waalhaven in Rotterdam as a German coaster and a Belgian inland pusher guided "Project Cargo" for its delivery destination in South-America, a voyage that will last approximately four weeks. Van der Kolk said, “This job combines our services in the field of Ship Management, Ship Delivery and Crewing together and fits us like a glove. Even for TOS a Project Cargo ship delivery is a challenging job. First of all TOS picked up a coaster for the client in Papenburg (Germany). The TOS crew started up the vessel from dead ship.

Last weekend the tug had a stop-over for bunkering in Cape Town, South Africa. “Some years ago TOS advised the client on the delivery of a pusher. Our contact person was very pleased about the advice which resulted in the ship delivery request of the GF Humaita in 2013.” said Ronald van der Kolk, Manager Division Ship Management.
