These newbuilt 110-meter-high Goliath cranes are built by Cimolai Technology for Fincantieriโ€™s shipyard in Monfalcone.

Following weeks of planning and preparation, the loading operation was successfully completed, with the crane featuring a 136-metre outreach securely positioned onboard our 152 m x 38 m semi-submersible heavy lift barge and towed to Monfalcone by the ASD tug ๐—•๐—ข๐—” ๐—›๐—ฒ๐—ถ๐—บ๐—ฑ๐—ฎ๐—น.

The operation required close coordination between multiple parties both at Chioggia and Monfalcone, including tug operators, port pilots, mooring teams, the Harbour Master's Office, MWS, agents, and the project logistics teams. Simulations of the operations were also carried out at VEMARS, with support from CETENA S.p.A. - Centro per gli Studi di Tecnica Navale, in advance to ensure a safe and efficient execution.

We are proud that BOABARGE 38 was selected to support another complex heavy transport operation, demonstrating the capability and reliability of our heavy lift fleet for demanding industrial projects.

A big thank you to Fagioli, Cimolai Technology, FINCANTIERI and everyone involved for the excellent teamwork and professional execution.
