Heavy cargo. Precise ex*****on. Two voyages on MV Hilke.
MV Hilke was recently captured carrying out a heavy lift operation in Hvide Sande, Denmark. Across two voyages, she transported a total of 11 floating foundation components for BMS A/S, with individual pieces measuring up to 54.73 m in length and weighing up to 596 tonnes.
What made this operation particularly demanding was the combination of heavy cargo and Hvide Sande’s port restrictions: a maximum vessel draft of 6.5 metres and a maximum vessel length of 140 metres. Handling heavy units within these parameters called for the right vessel capabilities, careful planning and precise ex*****on.
Close coordination between ship and shore ensured a safe and smooth operation from start to finish.
A big thank you to everyone involved, on board and ashore, for the excellent teamwork!
