Happy River / -Rover / -Ranger / -Sailer Jupiter

Dutch know-how in the field of heavy-load transportation is encapsulated in this versatile breed of vessels. The 4-vessel programme was entrusted to Merwede by Mammoet Shipping (Big lift at the time) of Amsterdam. The two mast cranes, each of 400 tons with 18 m radius, provide a tandem lift capacity of 800 tons and symbolise the primary purpose of these vessels; the stability of the vessels is such that no external measure like pontoons, outriggers or supports are required during heavy lift operations. The vessels are extremely flexible with a large single hold in which vertical transverse and longitudinal separations as well as tweendecks can easily be fitted by means of special pontoons making the vessels also suitable for bulk cargoes, timber, containers, dangerous goods and general cargoes apart from heavy lift and project cargoes.
