Global Record

SIBA Ships has set a new record for livestock shipment, moving 22,100 steers and heifers from Darwin (Australia) to Jakarta and Panjang (Indonesia) in one shipment aboard “Deneb Prima”. The previous global record was 20,900 cattle on the same ship.

The cattle on board took 36 hours to load, weighed a total of 8,000 tonnes and consumed 200 tonnes of feed per day on their voyage.

It should be pointed out, that Siba also began a new regular service this week by shipping one of the largest ever consignments of dairy cattle from Australian shores, from Portland, Victoria, to Mexico. The 9,461 Jersey and Friesian heifers were loaded aboard “Becrux” on Sunday for a 14-day voyage to Mexico – marking the start of a regular series of shipments from Australia to Latin America.
