The container crane, with a height of 69m was loaded onboard a pontoon in the Delwaide dock and was transported with a bascule laid horizontally, giving the convoy the exceptional dimensions of 145m long and 89m wide. The load passed through the Berendrecht lock, the largest in the world, in the early hours of the morning. The crane was due arrive the following week in the Norwegian port of Larvick, where it will serve a container terminal.
Wide load
An outsize load left the port of Antwerp last month on a voyage way to Norway.
