This afternoon, the M/V Onego Elbe set sail from the Port of Coatzacoalcos to transport 6,670 tons of ballasted pipe destined for the port of Chaguaramas, Trinidad and Tobago.

The specialized pipe-carrier vessel—measuring 145.63 meters in length with a 8.5-meter draft—arrived at Berth No. 1/2 on April 14. Loading operations began on April 15, involving the mobilization of a total of 540 pipes.

Bredero Shaw de México S.A. de C.V., the port concessionaire responsible for the pipe ballasting process, worked alongside the Unión de Estibadores y Jornaleros S.C.L. to execute the logistical and operational maneuvers, ensuring proper stowage and cargo safety.

According to the operational schedule, loading maneuvers were completed yesterday, April 16, at 3:00 PM, successfully accounting for the entire shipment.
