The details below give the maximum operating parameters of our equipment, vessels and shore side facilities. Please contact the Freight Department for the transport of any outsize loads that are presented for shipment.
Please note that the shelter decks of both freight vessels have lower axle weight maximums than the main decks but it is not anticipated that oversize loads will be stowed on these decks. Also note that when a drop trailer is set down on the deck of the vessel that trestle supporting the head of the trailer / mafi also counts as an axle.
