The heavy-lift vessel RollDock Storm has successfully discharged two major prefabricated modules — the Marine Control Building (MCB-1) and Substation (SS-06) — at PSA Breakbulk Terminal in the Port of Antwerp-Bruges, Belgium. The components were delivered for INEOS Belgium’s Project ONE, one of Europe’s most advanced petrochemical investments.
The operation was carried out in collaboration with Felbermayr, which deployed two SPMT combinations totaling 100 axle lines to transport the units from the vessel to the storage yard. Each module measured up to 70 meters in length and 9.7 meters in height, and was moved using special support beams and dredging mats to ensure safe handling.
RollDock Storm, operated by RollDock Shipping BV, belongs to the ST-Class — the second generation of dock-type semi-submersible heavy-lift transport vessels built by Flensburger Schiffbau-Gesellschaft (FSG) in Germany.
At 151.5 meters in length, the ST-Class vessels feature an enlarged cargo hold and advanced ballast system enabling flexible loading at any quay height. The stern ramp allows Ro-Ro cargo up to 4,500 metric tons per unit, while twin deck cranes can each lift 350 mt — or 700 mt in tandem operations. The vessels can submerge up to 12.5 meters for float-on/float-off loading, and with a draft of 5.67 meters, remain suitable for shallow-water ports. RollDock Storm has been in operation since 2014.
The modules were offloaded as part of PSA Breakbulk’s Project Cargo Ecosystem, a logistics framework jointly managed with Felbermayr and Haeger & Schmidt Logistics. The initiative provides a single-point solution for high-end project cargo handling — covering loading, storage, consolidation, and value-added services.
