It’s always quite a sight when large vessels manage to slip under a bridge — and this time was no exception. The heavy lift barge BOABARGE 38 made its way through Rotterdam’s historic De Hef railway bridge without difficulty, despite her impressive dimensions of 152 × 38 metres.

Oudkerk B.V. coordinated the barge’s arrival at the Port of Rotterdam, supported by several partners, including tugs from Muller Dordrecht.
