SCHIEDAM, the Netherlands – Jumbo Shipping, a Dutch maritime heavy lift transport and engineering contractor, and SAL Heavy Lift, a German-based breakbulk and project cargo specialist, have launched the Jumbo-SAL-Alliance.
The joint venture acts as the single commercial entry point for its sales network of offices and agents in 20+ countries. It handles the complete marketing of 30 project cargo vessels with lifting capacities up to 3,000 t SWL. This makes it the largest fleet in the 800+ t sector, Jumbo claimed.
Michael Kahn, managing director of Jumbo, said: “We believe that the flexibility and competences that our clients are looking for are best served by SAL’s and Jumbo’s combined assets and knowledge.”
The joint venture was cleared by the German competition authority earlier this month. The two companies share 90+ years of combined experience, are both family-owned and managed.
Both companies will continue as independent operators and vessel owners, and both remain active brands in the market.
