Jumbo Delivers New Work Boat

The Jumbo Shipping vessel Stellaprima arrived today at pier 9 to unload a work-boat.

The Dominion Warrior is being brought over from Gibraltar. Built as Coastal Warrior, and purchased by Dominion Diving, the work boat is barge like in appearance with a small superstructure and large work area. A Common vessel layout in Europe, these type of work-boats are uncommon in Canadian waters.

Fairlift Delivers to Stena Icemax

_MG_6662The Heavy lift vessel Fairlift made a quick stop at pier 31 today. She reportedly delivered something to the Stenna Icemax, now located off the Shelburne Basin. Jumbo Shipping does offer subsea installation as one of their services, so its possible the ship delivered something to the seabed, rather then to the ship itself.

 

In other Icemax news, the CNSOPB gave shell permission to start drilling again.

Jumbo Shipping FairLift

Jumbo Shipping’s Heavy lift vessel FairLift arrived this morning at Pier 30. I suspect she is discharging cargo, as their was nothing obvious for her to pick up on the pier. (Though there were some Mammoet heavy transport chassis on the pier the other day.)

Jumbo Shipping is also a regular caller in Halifax, (Past Visits) however they have dropped off since CAT shut the EMD plant in London ONT, and locomotives are no longer exported.

Forward is Nirint Holandia, a regular caller in Halifax.

Busy Day for Pier 9

The Normally quiet Pier 9 has a Busy day today with 2 arrivals.

Jumbo Shipping’s Heavy Lift Ship Daniella is due to load Steam Turbine Components. Both ISI’s Components, and Jumbo Shipping are regular callers in Halifax – Though lately heavy lift operations Have been occurring At Halterm – Including the Locomotive shipments, which occurred at Pier 9 in Previous years.

The Chemical Products Tanker Sakarya is also Due at Pier 9 this afternoon. Wilson’s Fuels has a Spout there to offload to their tank farm on Barrington Street.

Fairlane.. Change in Plans

African Dhalia sailed at 1300 as scheduled, freeing up Pier 27 for Fairlane.. which she sailed past into the basin.

Jumbo Shipping Vessels are equipped with dynamic positioning, and built to perform sub-sea installations. In other words, they can lift and offload cargo in open water without being tied to a wharf.
