On 8 September NYK Line became the first deep sea RORO carrier to call at Rostock, at the Liebherr MCCtec facility. The Pure Car Truck Carrier vessel loaded during a sunny day nearly 30 x Rolltrailers, destined for Off Shore Projects in Singapore, Ho Chi Minh City and Shanghai. The cargo included impressive cargo height of up to 4.40 metres, as well as crane jibs with over 30 metres length.
NYK Germany accepted in close co-operation with the Liebherr Rostock transport & production team the logistics challenge to transfer equipment & knowledge to the port of Rostock. Therefore, already weeks before the actual loading, several pre meetings took place and the required equipment was transferred by truck from the NYK depot in Bremerhaven to the Liebherr factory. Within the first week of September the stuffing of 28 x 40’ and 62’ trailers were successfully executed.
