AAL KEMBLA CARRIES THEM ALL AND MORE, ON LINER SERVICE VOYAGE FROM EUROPE TO ASIA
Singapore, Tuesday 15th June 2021: On Valentine’s Day 2021, the AAL Kembla set sail from Rotterdam on a voyage from Europe, through the Persian Gulf and onto Shanghai – as one of six 31,000 dwt A-Class heavy lift multipurpose vessels employed on AAL Shipping’s (AAL) ‘Europe, Middle East / India – Asia Monthly Liner Service’. On the journey eastwards, she loaded close to 37,000 cbm / 15,000 mt of project heavy lift, breakbulk and steel commodity cargoes. These included multiple private yachts, the longest of which was 23 m; a 33 m tall mobile harbour crane weighting 370 mt; 16 power transformers with a total weight of 1,583 mt; a 41 m long dredger and components weighing 584 mt; and four giant circular baskets with an average circumference of just under 52 m. The smallest parcel she carried was 1.8 mt and 2.5 cbm.
Eike Muentz, General Manager Europe, commented; “The cargo carried on this particular voyage serviced over 30 shippers and upwards of 10 multiple industry projects along the route, including wind energy, infrastructure, oil and gas and mining. The volume and wide range of cargo types featured on this voyage illustrates the supreme flexibility of the A-Class and the growing dependency upon a breakbulk-style of shipping from global shippers. These customers would normally put their smaller breakbulk and steel commodity cargoes into containers, but cannot due to the current climate of increased costs and limited capacity.
He added; “Even with significant COVID restrictions, unparalleled port delays and cargo readiness issues, AAL’s monthly liner service between Europe and Asia has thrown a lifeline to all types of shippers and all sizes of parcel. It is credit to our crews, engineers and operations teams who worked tirelessly on the front line throughout the pandemic and keep these voyages on schedule and our customer cargoes moving.”
AAL’s owned fleet of heavy lift multipurpose vessels has grown by 117,600 dwt in the past eight weeks. This brings the carrier’s operating fleet to a total of 711,200 dwt and comprises multiple vessel sizes, with 14 of these featuring a maximum lifting capacity of 700 t and many of the larger ‘mega-size’ vessels offering up to 40,000 cbm cargo intake volumes. The fleet serves AAL’s growing portfolio of multipurpose cargo services, which includes monthly sailings on the ‘Asia – Americas’, ‘Asia – Europe’ and ‘Atlantic’ trade routes, scheduled liner services ‘Asia – Australia’, and ‘Europe – Middle East / India – Asia’ and additional tramp solutions around the world.
