COSCO SHIPPING Specialized Carriers successfully loaded Shell 40,335mt Appomattox hull on board the M/V
Xin Guang Hua nearby Geoje Island, South Korea on August 6th, 2017.
During final preparations for the loading operation of the hull, Typhoon Noru was forecasted as heading towards South
Korea. The typhoon was closely monitored to ensure the safety of the crew, vessel, and the cargo, and as it changed course
away from South Korea, the parties agreed together to begin the loading operation. The Appomattox hull was brought
alongside the vessel and then slowly pulled into position above the deck using the vessel tugger winches. Once the transport
position was confirmed, the vessel was de-ballasted and the platform was sea-fastened for the transit to Ingleside, TX U.S.A.
COSCO SHIPPING Heavy Transport, with locations in Houston and Rotterdam, is responsible for the marketing, project
management, and engineering for COSCO SHIPPING Specialized Carrier's semi-submersible fleet.
