The German heavy-lift carrier SAL Heavy Lift has deployed its vessel Anna to transport two Liebherr cranes from Rostock, Germany, to Gibraltar.

The Anna is a multi-purpose heavy-lift vessel classed by DNV GL and equipped with two 450-ton cranes, combinable up to 900 tons lifting capacity. This configuration enables the ship to handle major industrial cargo such as cranes, turbines, or offshore modules independently of port infrastructure.

According to tracking data, Anna departed Rostock on October 6 and is scheduled to arrive in Gibraltar by October 12, 2025. The cargo, two Liebherr-manufactured cranes, was loaded at Liebherr’s Rostock facility, one of Europe’s main heavy-equipment hubs.
