The document discusses WWL's heavy lift cargo capabilities and fleet. It provides details on WWL's current fleet including the maximum cargo weight for different trailer and pulling gear configurations. It also outlines WWL's newbuilding program which will expand its fleet capabilities for heavy lifts up to 380 tons by end of 2011. The document also describes the different vessel types (PCTC, RORO carriers) used for heavy cargo transport and notes design considerations for reducing environmental impact in new vessels.

14. WWL Heavy Lift Capabilities
Current Fleet
THE MAXIMUM CARGO WEIGHT TO BE INDIVIDUALLY ASSESSED FOR EACH LIFT
BASED ON ACTUAL TRAILER AND PULLING GEAR, AND MAY EXCEED VALUES ABOVE
16. WWL Fleet Heavy Lift Capabilities
By end 2011, WWL can offer high-frequency global coverage
for heavy lifts with a fleet comprising of:
29 vessels >= 230 tons cargo weight
16 vessels >= 280 tons cargo weight
11 vessels >= 320 tons cargo weight
8 vsls at 380 tons cargo weight
- Up to a maximum of 7.10m height
18. PCTC:
The Pure Car Truck Carrier is more versatile in terms of
cargo mix and load
Optimized for cars and mix of
cars, trucks and heavy rolling
units
3-5 Liftable car decks
Capacity 2,000-8,000 RT43
Length < 230m normally < 200m
Stern ramp mostly 80-150 tons
3-4 Liftable decks
Slender hull, but able to carry
heavier cargo than a PCC
20. RORO Carrier:
RORO carriers are optimized for H&H and NCC with
cars as supplementary cargo
No fixed car decks
Capacity 3,000-6,500 RT43
Length < 300m
Stern ramp 250 < 500 tons
3-4 Hoistable decks
More full body hull than a PCTC
heavier cargo
21. Vessel design:
Reduction of environmental impact has a strong focus
when designing tomorrows vessels
Nmnmn
Nmnmn
Longer, slimmer vessels for reduced emissions CO2
Longer vessels LOA allows for slimmer underwater lines
Less ballast water means less water transported
Lower deck heights optimized towards select cargoes
giving lower vessel profile emissions
Lifting vessel out of water means less fuel consumption
Reduced speed for reduced emissions
Weather routing support
General Asset and Scheduling Optimization
Sub-contractor standards for emissions in focus
