July 7 - Van der Vlist has used its own terminal in Moerdijk to help a local company move four 179-tonne heat exchangers.
The 28 m long units were collected one by one from the nearby factory and transported using a four-axle truck and a 15-axle modular trailer to the quay, where the cargo was unloaded onto two barges for shipment.
The heat exchangers were loaded onto the barges at Van der Vlist's quay using mobile cranes with 500-tonne and 700-tonne capacities.
