Maiden voyage 'Jumbo Jubilee'

Jumbo Shipping’s latest newbuild heavylift vessel, the ‘Jumbo Jubilee’, completed its maiden voyage in late December after successfully loading, transporting and installing two 1,250-tonne shiploaders for ‘FL Smidth’.

The ‘Jumbo Jubilee’ started her first voyage from her home port Rotterdam, The Netherlands. She set sail for Vitória, Brazil, where two shiploaders were waiting, each with a processing capacity of 16,000 tonnes iron ore per hour. With ample clearance between the crane jib and cargo and enough lifting height to clear the conveyor belt at the centre of the pier, the loading operation was relatively easy.

It was at Tubarão, the shiploader was lifted on board, brought to Tubarão and installed safely on its rails, under control and according to plan.
