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.

SafeSystems B.V. provided engineering support for the discharge of two stainless steel chemical tanker hulls at Waalhaven, Rotterdam, including padeye design, deck strengthening and lifting calculations.
Each crane for BigLift Shipping’s Happy S will lift 1,100 tonnes at 23 metres outreach, with electric drives and booms that can be secured upright at sea to leave deck space available for oversized cargo.
Three power generation components weighing up to 335 tonnes were transported to Ireland, with Terra Marique using specially engineered ramps and SPMTs to discharge cargo at a tidal beach landing site.
