Our fleet - the basis of our success
The oil- and gas-industry, the offshore wind market, the port constructions and extensions, the production and modernisation of power plants and everything else big, heavy and difficult: Those are the worldwide areas of core activity for the more than 400 experienced experts and the powerful fleet of the Beluga Shipping GmbH, the innovative world market leader in the project and heavy lift segment which opens new corridors and follows unbeaten paths to efficiently fulfil the clients requirements. The vessels (presently 68 units, by the end of 2012 strategically ideal 75 units) are equipped with cargo handling gear that can lift a combinable load of up to 1400 tons on the most powerful units.
Additional capabilities include adjustable tweendecks and a top cruising speed of up to 18 knots. Thanks to their design, they are also able to operate on routes off the beaten track of the large global flows of goods. Our constantly growing fleet with an average age of three years, numbers among the most modern of its kind. The vessels optimally combine a large cargo carrying capacity with low fuel consumption.
Looking to the future, a new generation of Beluga vessels is already taking shape at the shipyards: In 2010, multipurpose heavy-lift project carriers with lifting capacities of up to 1400 tons are going to sail in the service of Beluga Shipping. The unique combination of capability and efficiency of the P1- and P2 series will set benchmarks in the heavy-lift business higher.
