Van der Vlist moves cranes for Fehmarnbelt tunnel project
Dutch family-owned heavy transport specialist, Van der Vlist, played its part in the Fehmarnbelt tunnel project earlier this month. The company delivered the first of two STC HD260c cranes.
The dismantled crane components were loaded at STC’s factory in Coevorden, Netherlands, before being transported to Rodby, Denmark. These cranes will play a crucial role in the construction of the Fehmarnbelt Tunnel, an ambitious 18-kilometre underwater tunnel connecting Denmark and Germany.
Van der Vlist transported 10 components, weighing a total of approximately 300 tons, within a two-day period. The heaviest component, the upper structure, weighed 70 tons.
