Reviews & Ratings for the Black-Marlin

On June 17th, the heavy-lift vessel Black Marlin set sail from Shanghai, transporting 18 hulls for inland shipping vessels designed by Concordia Damen, along with a Damen Crane Barge 6324. This significant voyage is part of Concordia Damen's ongoing efforts to supply cost-effective maritime solutions to its clientele. The hulls and the crane barge, all crafted at shipyards in China, are expected to reach the Port of Rotterdam by mid-August. Upon their arrival, the hulls will be towed to Concordia Damen and nearby shipyards for outfitting, while the Crane Barge will head to Damen Shipyards Gorinchem for further assembly.

On April 22, 2012, Dockwise Ltd made a significant announcement regarding its iconic heavy lift vessel, the 'Black Marlin'. The company revealed plans to convert the vessel into a type 1 category ship, a move that will substantially boost its capacity from 56,000 tons to an impressive 76,000 tons. This enhancement comes in response to the growing global appetite for larger shipping vessels within Dockwise's fleet. The refurbishment project is projected to span approximately three months, with completion anticipated in 2014, positioning 'Black Marlin' to better serve the evolving demands of the maritime industry.
