BigLift Shipping announced the new build order of a heavy lift vessel.
Scheduled for delivery in June 2028, this vessel will strengthen BigLift’s capacity to meet growing global demand for heavy lift and project cargo transport.
The vessel will be built at Dalian Shipbuilding Offshore Co. in Dalian, China.
The initial order is for one vessel, with an option for a second, marking a strategic expansion of BigLift’s fleet and reinforcing its long-term commitment to the heavy lift market.
As a next-generation sister vessel, it will incorporate a range of optimisations and enhancements aligned with the latest regulatory requirements and technological advancements, ensuring it is fully future-ready.
The vessel will feature advanced lifting capabilities, including tandem lifts of up to 2,200 mt. Its full-width weather deck and adjustable tweendeck ensure optimal cargo space, while two 1,100 mt heavy lift mast cranes, supplied by Huisman, provide unmatched lifting height and outreach.
Built to Finnish/Swedish 1A Ice Class standards, the vessel is equipped to operate safely and efficiently in demanding conditions around the globe.
