Heavy lift fleet expansion
SAL Heavy Lift will expand its fleet with three heavy lift vessels with 800t lifting capacity in early 2020.
The vessels are reliable workhorses of the well-known and commonly recognized P1 Type design. They are geared with two 400t SWL cranes capable of lifting up to 800 tons in tandem plus an additional 120t SWL crane. They will service clients along SAL’s main trade lanes between Europe and the Far East, but also SAL’s more recently introduced Africa service.
The vessels can operate in arctic areas and SAL will now offer Northeast passage transits when suitable.
SAL is strengthening its fleet during a time when a greater part of its existing heavy lift fleet is engaged in renewable and oil & gas projects.
