There is no limits (except imagination) top what can be transported by ships these days:

Wison Offshore & Marine delivered the first train modules of Arctic LNG 2 project, weighting nearly 50,000 tons, at its Zhoushan yard.
The GPO GRACE will transport the module to Murmansk via the Northern Route with ETA Murmansk (as per AIS info) September 16th
GPO Grace carrying two LPG Tankers PARAMACAY YYBE and YAVIRE YYBD. Last port was Aruba and final destination is Aliaga in Turkey. Allegedly they were allowed to be transported on the understanding that these vessels were being taken to Turkey for repair and refurbishment. Both are registered in Venezuela and appear to have been the subject of an embargo by the US.
Very impressive aerial picture of Amasus mv NORTHERN ROCK fully loaded with reels on her way to Rio de Janeiro!
Thanks to captain Pieter Meuleman for the great picture !
It is more than amazing what these vessels can do.
@ombugge, do you have any info about what cargo Audax and Pugnax might be transporting next? Both ships recently transited the Northern Sea Route from Europe to China. Something for ALNG2, perhaps?
The Wärtsilä-built LPG tankers Paramacay and Yavire had been laid up for such a long time that there could have been only one destination for both hulls. Found a photo report of an onboard inspection. It’s interesting to see what a ship that has been laid up for a long time looks like.
Sorry, no info re: Audax or Pugnax, other that what you can see on AIS sites.
The cargo vessel PIETERSGRACHT departed Sortland bound for Murmansk (Russia). She is the biggest cargoship that have ever arrived this port.
Her dwt is almost 20 000 tons. She discharged some equipment for the salmon industry here.
