Eleven tugs have been transported on one vessel from Asia to Europe in a rare major logistical operation that was all Dutch in achievement. Dutch firm BigLift Shipping B.V. deployed its 156m heavy-lift vessel Happy Star to transport the 11 Damen tugs, with two heavy-lift mast cranes weighing 1,100 tonnes each on board. On April 4, Happy Star set sail from Damen’s shipyard in Halong Bay in Vietnam for Europe., and arrived in Vigo, Spain just 38 days later. One vessel was unloaded there before she continued to Rotterdam to unload the remaining 10 on May 19. Happy Star can lift up to 2,200 mt in tandem lift, with a lifting height of nearly 47m above the main deck. With a weather deck extending over the full width of the vessel, her load space can be used to the utmost and she can sail with open weather deck hatches on a draught of up to 8m. The vessel has Finnish/Swedish 1A Ice Class notation. “These mass deliveries do not take place often as it is rare that so many vessels are ready to be dispatched at the same time,” said Damen Services Heavylift coordinator Rimmert Berlijn. “The last such event occurred in 2015 when Happy Star transported 22 vessels of various types on the same route." “However, this brings advantages versus delivering vessels on their own hulls. These include having the vessels and their equipment arriving in pristine condition. The marine environment also benefits from having fewer emissions with just one ship, albeit a larger one, doing all the work. These outcomes align well with Damen’s commitment to sustainability and operational excellence.” Read the full story on Maritime Journal; https://lnkd.in/ewt97NrZ

DECK vs ENGINE! 🤺🥷 There is a cold war that is going on for generations! (In a light way). People from Deck think that Engineers are just sleeping in the ECR and taking weekends off. 👷🏽⛑ On the other hand, Engineers say that Deck officers have nothing to do except making Coffee and Calling Engine Room for help! 👻☕️ It doesn’t matter which ship we are on, which nationality we are sailing with, this topic always has a majority. Engineers wish their lives were like Deck officers in good air conditioned Bridge and Deck Officers want to have some weekends off and escape the 6on-6off at ports! 🥵😑 In the end, both the departments are extremely important for the Ship to sail properly. It is often said that Deck Officers run the Ship and the Engineers make the ship run! ✅⛴ So bottomline, never get into this argument. ,🤣🤣🤣 MSC Mediterranean Shipping Company Maersk Line, Limited Hapag-Lloyd AG EVERGREEN LINE #seaman #lifeonboard #deckcadet #bigship #seamanlife #marineengineering #marineengineer #sailor #offshore #maerskline #maersk #maerskcrew #shipping #shiplife #merchantmarine #merchantnavy #maritime #ships #lifeofaseafarer #careeratsea #selfie #deepsea #oceanlife #containership

Marine works never stop and can be challenging but what I have learnt over many years is Adapt And Overcome any issues that may arise, but what a great industry and job to be in. #marineworks #shiprepair #wearesms #smsshiprepair #onshore #offshore

Something to ponder for safety of all at sea. A large trading or passenger vessel takes an equally large amount of time to stop or turn demonstrated well in the video. in confined channels and waters keep clear of large vessels. when offshore use common sense and dont put yourself in such a dangerous close quarters situation!
