Project Cargo & Yacht Transport carries out its tasks – planned down to the minutest detail – in the most adverse of conditions. It had to cope with strong winds when loading a ship in Istanbul in April. |
The Turkish enterprise Project Cargo & Yacht Transport will pursue its aim of becoming one of the most-watched companies in its industry. Evidence supporting this is visible in the many large-scale projects started by the company, which was founded a mere five years ago, that have been carried out successfully over past months.
The large – scale undertakings that Project Cargo & Yacht Transport most recently took on included, in the last three months, the maritime transport of 56 wind turbines from Germany to Turkey, the sea and land transport of another three rotor blades to the Far East, and the completion of three yacht transport jobs in two months.

from Bremen, Germany to Iskenderun (Turkey). The cargo included rotors, engine nacelles, towers, hubs, and smaller pieces. To transport the cargo, which weighed 10,800 t all in all, 13 ships were charted by the special service company, which covered 50,000 sea miles.
In May 2011, Project Cargo & Yacht Transport carried out its latest job for partners in the wind energy industry. In this case, three rotors were transported in China, namely 400 km from Hebei to the port of Tianjin. After loading the ship, the cargo was ready fort he trip to its final destination in another port in Asia.
Yachts in tow Additional large-scale projects projects that were undertaken recently concern the second part of the company's name, Project Cargo & Yacht Transport. Within the span of 30 days, the Turkish experts in the company prepared two ships belonging to the state-run coastguard of the of the Emirate Abu Dhabi to set sail. The two ships weighed 23.5 t each and were 18 m long, 4.1 m wide, and 4.6 m tall. The first ship was unloaded in March in the port od Derince, 100 km from Istanbul. The second ship was handled equally successfully in April. |

20 days later, a ship with similar dimensions ( 23.6 t, 18 x 4.6 x 4.9 m) was prepared for shipment in the port of Kumport in Istanbul. The receiver expected its cargo to arrive at a port that is much further away than the previous journeys – Port Kelang ( Malaysia).
The challenges were much greater, because the ship had to be moored to an especially tall platform ( 18 m tall), and the loading process was performed in a time of high winds, which – according to a statement from Project Cargo & Yacht Transport – did not present the firm with much of a problem. |
