We are thrilled to share a milestone for our newly longterm time-chartered MV Zhong Ren 121 - her first cargo operation under our management was a resounding success. We transported nine inland waterway hulls from Nantong, China, to Rotterdam, The Netherlands, aboard MV Zhong Ren 121, totalling about 11,800 tons. The hulls vary in length from 63 to 135 meters and in width from 11.45 to 22.8 meters. The nine hulls were loaded using floating cranes and, to optimize cargo intake, were stacked atop each other. At their final destination, the hulls will be transformed into self-propelled inland waterway transport vessels. They will play a crucial role in transporting dry freight, containers, or serving as tankers through the inland waters of the Netherlands and neighbouring countries, highlighting our commitment to advancing sustainable transport solutions. Overcoming challenges was a key theme of this milestone shipment. While timing was crucial to avoid delays due to the Chinese New Year festivities, the Client’s engineering team brilliantly tackled the task of designing custom grillage, sea fastening, and stacking supports to secure the cargo as one unit, achieving a stackability of up to four tiers high. Innovations in stowage were necessary to accommodate all units, including the removal and repositioning of MV Zhong Ren’s stern buoyancy tanks to free up deck space. Additionally, extra navigation lights had to be installed due to a cargo overhang of about 14 meters from the stern of the vessel. To ensure safety and prevent water accumulation inside the hulls during the sea voyage, drainage holes were installed. This milestone shipment on MV Zhong Ren 121 is just the beginning. We are excited for the journey ahead and many more interesting journeys to come. A big thank you to our valued client, RensenDriessen Shipbuilding B.V., for their trust and for achieving this exciting milestone together. #zhongren121 #jumbosalalliance

With pride, we herewith like to share our recent launch in China. Launch being our first hull of a new series "Vliet vessels" of 4 built in China. With the design of Conoship International and final building at Holland Shipyards Group in the Netherlands we have stepped into, what we believe, a more sustainable and environmental solution for the near future. By using diesel electric propulsion and a redesigned shaped hull leading to significant fuel and emission reduction, we will make this happen. In addition the installation of 2 Econowind Ventofoils will give an extra boost in fuel reduction. The vessels will be fully equipped with tween decks, specialized for breakbulk, IMO cargo's and with open top notation. Keep following us to stay updated. #hartelshipping #hollandshipyards #conoship #newbuilding #hudigveder
