Jumbo Maritime said Fairpartner is sailing to Esbjerg, Denmark after loading windmill pile sections in Penglai, China for Siemens Gamesa.
The company highlighted the role of tweendecks, described as flydecks, in the operation. By extending deck space with tweendecks, the vessel gained additional width, making it possible to load one extra full set of windmill pile sections.
The shipment was carried out through cooperation between Siemens Gamesa, the JSI Alliance site team and local stevedores. The operation was planned, executed and delivered safely, according to the company.
Fairpartner is a heavy-load carrier in Jumbo’s J-Class fleet. The vessel is fitted with two 900 t cranes, giving it a combined lifting capacity of 1,800 t. Sailing under the Dutch flag, it has an overall length of 143.1 m and a beam of 26.6 m.
