Direct Discharge of Steel Mill Products

Originating from Europe, and partnering with Hansa Meyer Germany, Hansa Meyer Heavy Haul & Rigging received and transported 4 units of steel mill products to Calvert, AL. All units were directly discharged from the ship, with the exception of the largest unit that was picked from the ship onto a floating crane and then placed onto 10 lines of Goldhofer THP/DR. In addition to the cargo above, there were also 3 flatbeds of accessories all of which were successfully transported. Please enjoy the below pictures of this project.
