sea transportThe Blaesbjerg fleet has oeen built up over thepast 8 years to attain its present position as oneof the largest and most flexible heavy lift fleetsin the world. The combination of relatively small.shallow-drafted, self-sustained ships and theBlaesbjerg Stability Systems has resulted in auniquely flexible fleet capable of handling odddimensions and specific heavy lifts ranging from100 tons to 1,200 tons as well as general cargoes.Every vessel in this heavy lift fleet is classifiedon a world-wide basis.

loot cargo handlingThe Stability System represents an importantsafety factor by ensuring that the ship is retainedin an upright position - ~’ithouf heeling tenden-cies - during any cargo handling operation in-cluding water-to-water. Damage risks’are thusreduced to an absolute minimum.The combination of the ship cranes and theunique Stability System enables BlaesbjergHeavy Lift to master the existing conditions inalmost any port in the worla - regardless of pierconstruction or lack of facilities

Blaesbjerg Heavy Lift also transportedthe huge Iowloaders as these were unavailablein Turkey.
