Shiploader Load-out<br />
<strong>Mammoet</strong> was contracted to load-out and deliver a shiploader from Port of Quebec City<br />
to QIT in Sorel-Tracy. The shiploader was completely fabricated and assembled at the<br />
Port of Quebec,Canada. <strong>Mammoet</strong> lifted the unit, transported it to the edge of the dock,<br />
and rolled it onto a barge using 48 lines of SPMTs.<br />
Once loaded, the shiploader was transported along the St. Lawrence River to<br />
Sorel-Tracy, a distance of 180 kilometers. At QIT, the shiploader was offloaded, starboard<br />
side. As the heavy shiploader could not be transferred onto the quay due to weight<br />
restrictions, a platform measuring 35 meters wide was placed over the quay to provide<br />
the necessary weight distribution.<br />
