Hartman Seatrade supported the transport of two custom-engineered cable baskets, weighing 505 tons and 333 tons, from Greece to the United States for an offshore wind development. The shipment included a total of 12km of inter-array subsea cable for a developing offshore wind farm.

The operation was carried out by the Western Rock, a RoRo vessel chartered by Harlyn and operated in cooperation with Amasus. The project once again demonstrated the efficiency and safety of RoRo transport for heavy project cargo.

With its open-deck design and RoRo ramp access, the Western Rock enabled direct loading and discharge using SPMTs (self-propelled modular transporters), eliminating crane lifts, reducing handling, and minimizing port time and demurrage exposure.

Hartman Seatrade stated that the operation was executed safely, efficiently, and on schedule, acknowledging the contribution of its engineering team, Harlyn, Amasus, and all project partners.
