On Saturday 22 August 2009, a new tandem heavy lift record was set by mv Jumbo Jubilee. A load of 1,980 t, 10% on top of the combined SWL of the cranes, was required to obtain a Lloyds Certificate of Compliance. However, the test load had a record breaking weight of 1,992 t, stated to be the heaviest load ever lifted by a heavy lift transport ship. (more…)

On June 8 the protocol of delivery and acceptance was signed between Jumbo Shipping and Damen Shipyards Galati, Romania. This means Jumbo is now the proud owner of the Jumbo Jubilee. Following final outfitting and voyage preparation the vessel left Galati at the end of the same week. As the Jumbo Jubilee is the fourth J1800-class vessel, her first destination is the quayside at Huisman Equipment in Schiedam, the Netherlands, to get her two 900t mast cranes installed.
