Vessel operations took approximately 26 hours, which was longer than expected due to heavy rain and strong winds during loading using the ship’s gear. The heaviest piece of cargo was loaded using both cranes onboard the vessel in tandem.

Mr. Luke Richards – Managing Director GTUSA stated: “The CCT Team were hands on and expertly loaded all cargo safely and securely. Everyone was excited and eager to handle the variety of different equipment that required multiple types of rigging.
