Starting from April 1st 2018 the world’s first pool for dock vessels will be created. RollDock and SAL Heavy Lift will cooperate for Roll-On / Roll-Off and Float-In / Float-Out heavy lift cargoes.
Namely, the pool will include six geared dock vessels, operated by RollDock. Five of the vessels comes from the existing RollDock fleet and one from SAL. Both companies will continue independently and operate vessels outside the pool. SAL will provide heavy break bulk cargo support.
Justin Archard, Commercial Director SAL stated: “SAL wants to keep its place in the Roll-On / Roll-Off and Float-In / Float-Out market, however we also realize that our core service is lift operations. Whenever clients look for heavy transportation – with lifting, rolling or floating services or a combination – our setup offers them a one-stop-shop.”
