United Heavy Lift GmbH & Co. KG (UHL) has completed the transport of two IHC B65 dredgers between Rotterdam and Balikpapan, working together with Multi Marine Chartering & Agencies and Royal IHC. Each dredger weighs about 378 t and was carried on the heavy-lift vessel UHL Fighter.

According to United Heavy Lift, careful preparation by all companies involved underpinned the project. At the start of the operation, Royal IHC held a pre-loadout meeting and yard inspections, during which technical documentation and safety procedures were aligned before loading began.

The 36-day voyage between Rotterdam and Balikpapan was completed without incident, with the crew of UHL Fighter managing both loading and discharge of the dredgers. The company stated that the crew’s professionalism and precise execution were central to the safe completion of the transport.

United Heavy Lift also acknowledged Multi Marine Chartering B.V. for its coordination during the pre-planning phase and the engineering team at United Engineering Solutions GmbH for their transport engineering work and technical documentation. In addition, IHC Beavers B.V. was thanked for its continued confidence in UHL to handle its dredgers. The company noted that the project highlights how structured planning and close cooperation enable incident-free, on-schedule handling of demanding heavy-lift cargo.
