The Heavy Lift Vessel, AAL Hamburg, will unload barges at the Port of Rosario, in Argentina, after months of operations in Nueva Palmira, Uruguay. The vessel is traveling from Belém, Brazil, to the port facility in the Province of Santa Fe.
Since last November, the Port of Nueva Palmira had received 20 calls from the AAL Hamburg, during which it had disembarked between 13 and 16 barges, which are used for grain movement through the Paraguay-Paraná waterway.
The Uruguayan media outlet El Eco reported on the transfer of operations and learned that the cargo owners decided to conduct the trial in Rosario.
The change of terminal leaves the Uruguayan town in uncertainty, according to the aforementioned media, as there are still 400 barges to be delivered, and for each arrival, crews of 50 port workers were employed, also requiring the intervention of a shipping agency, other service providers, and public officials.
The units are built in the Rio Maguarí shipyards, in the localities of Belém and Juruá, in Manaus, destined to be incorporated into the LHG Logística fleet.
The vessel, 179.9 meters long and 30.04 meters wide, arrived at the Port of Rosario on July 2, according to the shipping schedule of Terminal Puerto Rosario (TPR).
The AAL Hamburg was delivered on July 12, 2024, being the second vessel in a series of eight B-Class ships. The vessel was built and delivered by the CSSC Huangpu-Wenchong shipyard.
This 32,000 DWT multipurpose heavy lift vessel is dual-fuel enabled and equipped with three portside cranes with a capacity of 350 tons each and a maximum lift of 700 tons, as well as AAL's engineering team's latest innovation, the AAL Eco-Deck, a retractable deck system that increases free stowage space on deck to over 5,200 m2.
