The Dutch-flagged general cargo vessel Snoekgracht (IMO: 9202546), operated by Spliethoff, is currently sailing from Baltimore, USA, to Jacksonville, Florida, carrying six Rubber-Tired Gantry Cranes (RTGCs) on deck.
According to vessel tracking data, the Snoekgracht departed Baltimore on October 7, 2025, and is scheduled to arrive at Jacksonville Port (JAXPORT) on October 11.
Built as part of Spliethoff’s S-class, the Snoekgracht measures 168.2 meters in length, 25.2 meters in beam, and has a summer draft of 10.74 meters. With a gross tonnage of 16,641 GT and deadweight around 21,400 tons, it provides over 5,600 m² of cargo deck area across three levels.
Equipped with three deck cranes rated up to 120 tons, positioned portside aft, midship, and starboard forward, the vessel can handle heavy and oversized cargo independently—making it well-suited for transporting cranes, offshore modules, and other industrial equipment.
The six RTGCs are believed to be part of JAXPORT’s ongoing terminal modernization and capacity expansion program aimed at enhancing its container-handling efficiency. The port has been investing heavily in automation and infrastructure to meet growing cargo volumes across the U.S. Southeast.
