A one-of-a-kind cargo shipment moved across JAXPORT’s newly rebuilt heavy lift cargo berth at Blount Island Marine Terminal today.
Eight plates of curved steel that make up a massive sculpture, Passage of Time, by world-renowned American minimalist sculptor Richard Serra arrived by ship from Qatar and were unloaded by master riggers employed by JAXPORT partner, Portus.
Serra is best known for his large-scale steel sculptures which sell for millions of dollars. Portus boasts a global reputation as an industry leader for handling over-dimensional and unusual cargo.
The weather proof steel components of the sculpture are impressive in size, each weighing more 80,000 lbs, measuring up to 57 feet in length and standing more than 14 feet high. The sculpture’s final destination is in South Florida.
A recent multi-million dollar upgrade increased the capability of JAXPORT’s specialty ship’s berth dedicated to moving heavy and oversized cargo. The berth now ranks as one of the nation’s highest weight-bearing capacity docks.
“When moving something this irreplaceable, trust is a critical factor,” said John Mullins, Portus Director of Customer Service and Business Development. “The cargo owner saw Jacksonville was the clear choice for this assignment. Not every port team has our level of experience and reputation and not every port terminal has the capability to handle such unique cargo.”

100 axle lines CHINAHEAVYLIFT SPMTs assist 3200t giant bridge section roll onto the barge
www.chinaheavylift.com/news/100-axle-lines-chinaheavylift...
April 11 – With the strong support from CHINAHEAVYLIFT SPMT, our client Guangdong LIFT Engineering Machinery Co.,Ltd(GPEC) was contracted by Wuchang Shipbuilding Industry to transport 3,200t giant bridge section roll-on to barge for Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge project in Zhongshan city, Guangdong province.
This giant bridge section, which total weighed 3,200 tonnes and had the dimensions 132.6 m x 33.1 m, were transported from the fabrication facility yard to the barge by using total 100-axle lines SPMTs. So, how to move this giant steel structure onto the barge safely and accurately? As there’s over 20m distance from the bridge section and barge, crane is not suitable for this project. Based on the analysis of actual situation, our client GPEC choose the better solution of CHINAHEAVYLIFT S2.43 Self Propelled Modular Transporters(SPMT), which is more cost-effective and easier to operate.
Detail CHINAHEAVYLIFT SPMT transport system configuration:
100 axle lines S2.43 SPMT (10 units – 6 lines module, 10 units – 4 lines module) compose 4 big SPMT module
4 PPU (390kw Mercedes Benz engine for Power Pack Unit)
1 Wireless Remote control
Normally it will take 5-6 hours to roll-on, but in this project, we need complete the whole process in 2 hours as the reason of Tidal influence. Also, high precision is essential for roll-on, deviation is controlled smaller than 5mm in every 100m movement. This requires everyone and every steps close-cooperation and no mistake permitted.
The most difficult is, when SPMT move onto the barge, the barge will swing and tilt with the change of weight. So how to keep balance? Thanks to the hydraulic steady system of CHINAHEAVYLIFT SPMT, which adopt reliable Germany brand main components and have hydraulic compensation stroke of approx. 700mm (±350mm). Hydraulic support cylinder on suspension is connected to each other by steel pipes and hose. With a cut-off valve (ball valve) for grouping the hydraulic cylinder. Support system is set to three hydraulic group according to cargo weight, center of gravity location and road conditions. This ensures a uniform axle load in Uneven road when traveling. Besides, the barge is equiped with pressurized cabin to outward drainage to ensure the balance.
Through two hours efforts, CHINAHEAVYLIFT SPMT successfully assist the 3200t giant bridge section roll-onto the barge, this is the first step of HZMB CB02 project, one historic move in Chinese Bridge Construction area. But For CHINAHEAVYLIFT, just another case with SPMT.
The 1960 German-built, 1007gt, 80m former ferry Irrational Exuberance (Ex Hein Godenwind, Nordsee I, Estrella) had been sold for to an American business for conversion into a yacht. This never materialised but the vessel was arrested by the Port Authorities in 2005 over non payment of fees. While alongside the Detached Mole in Gibraltar on 27/12/07, she started taking on water. She was towed to No 1 Jetty where she later sank and settled on the seabed. A salvage operation was mounted by the heavylift crane ship TAKLIFT 6 on 24 November 2008 and the vessel was lifted ashore at the South Mole, where Cammell Laird shipyard dismanted the remains.

ALE Heavylift performed a movement of an electrical transformer weighing in at around 230 tonnes from Stella (Blaydon) to Wallsend overnight from 15th August to 16th August. On arrival at Swan Hunters in Wallsend it's to be shipped by barge to Ellesmere Port where it will be put back on the road to be taken to its destination of Oldbury. Seen at the North End of the Tyne Tunnel at East Howdon, the convoy is seen waiting to continue along Hadrian Road to Wallsend. The move was powered by a pair of ALE Trojan 8870 trucks with BX64KSE at the front with BX65OAW powering from the rear.
