March 16 - Fleet Line Shipping (FLS) has coordinated the shipment of a 160-tonne crew boat, measuring 41 m x 8 m x 12 m, from Jebel Ali in the UAE to Dos Bocas, Mexico.
FLS was first required to design and fabricate a bespoke cradle, which was transported to Jebel Ali port and welded together, before being lifted onboard BBC Chartering's vessel BBC Maine.
Slings were then placed around the crew boat, which was lifted from the water using the ship's gear and positioned on the cradle.
FLS also handled the crew boat's agency services, including crew sign off, coast guard permission, berthing permission, and Customs clearance.
