Kettle Cargo from Spain







Hansa Meyer Global Transport's Houston office recently completed a shipment of 3 Core-in Kettles from Tarragona, Spain to the Port of New Orleans with final destination in south west Louisiana.  A floating crane was used to position the kettles on a 220' barge:
80’-11”x18’-4”x20’-4”@345,714 lbs    



The barge made it to the discharge site early in the morning and the smallest kettle was lifted with a crane.  The barge was then repositioned and anchored in place with two tractors.  A ramp was put into position for the remaining roll-off discharge.


A multi-axel Goldhofer was used for the roll-off of the remaining kettles.



The project was executed flawlessly and the end customer was pleased with the project overall.
