April 14 - DFDS Group has shipped a 500-tonne capacity truck-mounted telescopic Liebherr crane from Germany to Lithuania.
The shipment of the crane and its spare parts was organised in cooperation with Strele Logistics, which took delivery of the crane once in Lithuania.
The large crane was first transported to Kiel, where the cargo was loaded onto DFDS' ro-ro vessel Victoria Seaways and shipped to the Lithuanian port of Klaipeda.

The Lithuanian port city of Klaipeda hopes to maximise its strategic location and become a hub for the offshore wind energy industry in the Baltic.
From hosting North America’s first wind turbine marshalling yard to preparing for the tow-out of a colossal concrete gravity structure (CGS), the port of Argentia is rapidly transforming into a nexus for renewable energy projects and heavy lift operations. As demand for green hydrogen and sustainable fuels grows, Argentia’s developments signal a bright future for project cargo in Newfoundland and beyond.
Damen Shipyards has delivered two Combi Freighter (CF) 5000 vessels to Squtrixo General Trading. Additionally, a CF 3850 will also be handed over to the company.
The US Department of Transportation’s Maritime Administration (MARAD) has allocated USD580 million towards port improvement projects.
