Central Oceans supported Rolldock during the loading of super-long wind turbine blades on board Rolldock Star at the Port of Qidong in China, with the project cargo shipment bound for Italy.

The shipment is bound for Italy and involves project cargo requiring close coordination due to the length and handling characteristics of the blades.

Central Oceans coordinated planning and loading activities with the vessel, port and stevedoring teams to ensure the cargo was handled and secured for safe transit.

After loading was completed, Rolldock Star departed Qidong and is now underway to Italy.

Central Oceans said the operation reflected its agency support for complex breakbulk and project cargo, as well as its cooperation with Rolldock.
