Ship to Barge

 

The pictures below displays an operation carried out by Nadro Marine, a subsidiary of McKeil Marine, loading cargo in the port of Hamilton.  The cargo was brought over from Europe on the M.V. Daniella, a vessel owned by the Jumbo Shipping Company.  Nadro assisted in discharging the M.V. Daniella using her massive deck cranes, which have a 250 ton capacity, to move the cargo onto the deck of the barge OC 181.  The barge was prepared by the Mckeil Nadro team to be able to accept the three 170 ton units on its deck. In the photo, Nadro’s Vigilant I is keeping the barge steady while pushing and pulling on the pushing knee.  The extensive planning of the McKeil and Nadro team made the complex load appear quite simple.
