Hansa Meyer Global Transport organized a 320 ton gear measuring 660 cm x 585 cm x 545 cm (21.7 ft x 19.2 ft x 17.9 ft) and a 150 ton disc measuring 813 cm x 699 cm x 254 cm (26.7 ft x 23 ft x 8.4 ft) from Renk in Germany to the University of Clemson in Charleston, South Carolina. Hansa Meyer took over the 2 units from a barge terminal close to Renk's production facility in Germany. The gear and the disc is for a windcraft turbine treating facility and the gear is reported to be the largest planetary gear built by Renk to date. The shipment was routed via barge to Antwerp and from there via Hapag Lloyd to Charleston, South Carolina. After arrival in Charleston, the gear and the disc were unloaded via floating crane. The gear was set on the barge and the disc traveled in the sling of the floating crane to drydock number 4, where they were set on to a dual-lane Goldhofer SPMT (Self-Propelled Modular Transport). The disc was placed inside the facility and offloaded using the overhead crane and 2 mobile cranes. The gear was placed alongside the facility and rolled into the plant via a sliding system.
Offloading the disc inside the plant - 2 mobile cranes and the overhead and the disc all the way at the end of the Goldhofer Trailer - no room for anything else

After setting the gear on additional beams and a slide system the Goldhofer was placed next to the plant for roll off.

Hansa Meyer USA handled two LNG storage tanks each measuring 36m x 5m x 5m and weighing 135mt from Decin, Czech Republic to a private discharge terminal in Everett, Massachusetts. This was a turn-key job from door to "set on foundation" including shimming.
Hansa Meyer USA handled approximately 3000 FRT from multiple origins in Asia and Europe to North Dakota. The above 95mt LP tank was one of two for this project. The weather was perfect for the discharge. However, due to ferocious winter weather conditions along the route, the team was challenged with road closures and white-out conditions in route to North Dakota.
It takes large scale generators and rotors to capture and produce 195 megawatts of hydroelectric power. Hansa Meyer USA managed a five part charter of approximately 3,500mt. The shipments included two generator sets each 50mt and two rotors each 205mt that were successfully delivered to the port for our customer. The project is being constructed and ultimately operated by Altagas in Vancouver, BC, Canada. Once the plant is on-line it will have the installed capacity of 195MW, enough to power 70,000 homes.
