BBC Chartering has completed a heavy cargo loading operation aboard BBC AQUAMARINE, with two fully assembled port cranes loaded in mid-March for onward transport.

The shipment was handled on an open-hatch basis, with the two cranes placed on board as complete units rather than being moved in sections. BBC Chartering described the move as a milestone operation, highlighting precision cargo handling and coordinated project logistics.

The vessel involved, BBC AQUAMARINE, is a heavy lift vessel sailing under the flag of Antigua and Barbuda. The ship has an overall length of 153.5 m and a beam of 23.5 m.

According to the ship tracking service, BBC AQUAMARINE departed Terneuzen on 26 March 2026 with ETA Cristobal on 8 February 2026.
