A total of 32 transition pieces, each 260 ton, are being delivered by Manora Logistics to Nordenham in Germany. Two Peak B type vessels have been chartered, and they will shuttle 16 trips to deliver all units to the terminal, after which they will be installed in the coming weeks
on the Trianel Borkum West II Windfarm. Once the 32 x 6.2 MW turbines are operational, they will deliver sufficient electricity for over 140.000 families.

Manora Logistics organized the transport, on the barge Paula, of the Hohe See Topside, from The Hoboken site to the offshore windfarm. With 4.500 ton total weight, and 55 meters length x 30 meters height, the largest component ever transported by Manora. After arriving at the interim storage location at Eemshaven, awaiting a favorable weather window, we took the cargo offshore for installation by HMC and their Crane Vessel Thialf. Proud to see such a high tech cargo, entirely manufactured in Belgium, passing over the Scheldt, with the Antwerp Cathedral and a cruise vessel in the background !

Over a period of a few weeks, Manora organised the transport of over 100 containers, including a lot of special equipment, from Turkey, Mexico, Panama and India to Europe and the Middle East. Manora was in charge of precarriage, customs, overseas transport and local delivery. Some shipments were time sensitive, and needed very strict follow up by our team. Manora offered a true one stop shop solution

22 transports by barge CS1, of TP’s each 460ton approx. from Antwerp via Schelde, Hansweert, Oosterschelde, Hollands Diep, and Nieuwe Maas, to be delivered at the new SIF Terminal in the Maasvlakte for the Hohe See OWF.

The barge was equipped with grillage and seafastening at Flushing, after which the jacket was loaded together with the piles. The 95 ton BP tug Multratug 3 towed the 122 x 36 meter pontoon from Flushing to the Hohe See Field in Germany.

Currently Manora Logistics is arranging 6 trips with 12 upto 18 anode cages, as inland navigation in Belgium and The Netherlands.

After a long period of preparation, finally we loaded two barges from Balen (Belgium) to Eemshaven (The Netherlands) of bridge parts. Two fully laden barges transported components via inland waterways. To underpass certain bridges on the canals, the barges had to take in special ballast to increase draft and decrease airdraft. This solution provided an economical solution to our customer, and was tailor made and engineered for this specific transport. Again a nice project, thank you to all who made this possible again.

As part of an ongoing project, we loaded a shiploader in Antwerp for a mining project in Angola. The machine, measuring 63 x 19 x 27 meters, and weighing 330 ton, was lifted on board of vessel HHL Valparaiso, after driving alongside the vessel using SPMT. Together with the other equipment, including a reclaimer of 527 ton, all cargo will leave the port on board of the vessel, and will arrive in the port of Namibe about 18 days later, where we will discharge and organize the local storage of all equipment on the terminal. The crew, engineers, stevedores and representatives of manufacturers worked extremely hard and long hours these days, for a very technical job, and we are happy all large pieces were safely loaded. Many thanks to all involved in this !
