MSC moves record-breaking 390-tonne cargo

Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC) has successfully moved a 390-tonne hydraulic hammer from Rotterdam to Singapore.

Measuring 25.7 metres long (4.55 metres wide and 4.82 metres high), this is the heaviest piece of cargo MSC has ever transported.

The giant hammer arrived in Singapore at the beginning of August and will be used to drill foundation poles into the seabed for an offshore wind farm project, contributing to the energy transition in South Asia.

Commenting on the achievement, Ben Collins, Global Project Cargo Manager, MSC, said: “The fact that our customer has entrusted us with such huge and time-sensitive cargo is a testament to the confidence in MSC’s ability to deliver it safely to Singapore.”

Last month, MSC was awarded the “Best Shipping Line – Asia-Africa” accolade at the 2024 Asian Freight, Logistics and Supply Chain (AFLAS) Awards.
