BigLift Baffin arrives in US and inches under Bayonne Bridge in NJ enroute to Maher Terminal

- Late August, the Big Lift Baffin left the Cork Dockyard in Ireland and powered across the Atlantic later arriving and anchoring just outside the Verrazzano Bridge in the Gravesend Bay, NY. There it had to wait for the perfect low tide. The anchor was raised at 12:30pm Sat and the ship and crew started the journey up the Hudson River to the Kill Van Kull River where it would inch, and I do mean inch, under the Bayonne Bridge. It then turned north and about an hour later had finally reached port at the Maher Terminal. Superlative job by the Moran Ship Yard tugs guiding each step of the way.
The BigLift Baffin was carrying 3 ship-to-shore (STS) container cranes built by Liebherr Cranes. With a height of 150meters and a weight of 6,000 tonnes, these are the largest objects ever engineered/manufactured in Ireland to be shipped out of the country. It had taken months in the Cork Dockyard to ready for the Atlantic crossing. Why all the work? The goal is to transform the Maher Terminal into a net zero emissions facility by 2040. I had seen the ship show up, a few days ago, on Marine Traffic and then I had to research what it was doing here. Thankfully I found a great article online by Emma Dailey from Project Cargo Journal www.projectcar... Pro Media Group that provided a lot of awesome information. Can't imagine how much the entire fantastic team put into all of this and hopefully they feel great after such success.

Best of luck to the APM Terminals at Port Elizabeth for undertaking taking on the project.

Living in Bayonne I can see these cranes and at night , wow so lit up. Just amazing video. What a crew. Thanks for posting.
Thanks mofnn24. Appreciate it. Amazing stuff to watch in Bayonne when you consider all that passes through there. Really amazing.
Great video of the big ship! Really nice 👍
Thank you Eamonn, appreciate it.
That ship had to take on a lot of water under that bridge. The people involved did a great job.
You're right about that for sure. When that little boat came by, just prior to them getting to the bridge, I'm sure those were some precious inches the team was worried about. What a great team effort from everyone involved.
Nice footage.Well done job!
Thank you. Incredible to watch.
Great video 👏👏
Thank you. What an incredible event to watch such a well orchestrated partnership of moving that up the river from the Verrazzano and eventually under the Bayonne Bridge with just inches so spare. Must have been one heck of a traverse across the ocean.
@@ExtraordinaryView Yes, it was very very close. Well done to all involved. It’s Unfortunate the bridges in US Ports cause a lot of problems and manufacturers/suppliers have to come up with some ingenious way to get them safely to their destination. Your video was excellent 👍
Have you seen this ruclips.net/video/-wqCUIJoZKM/видео.html
@@hpsuk-havenportsshippinguk9463 Agree. Thanks for watching and for the comments. Appreciate it.
It left from Ireland .Port of Cork..It be a dangerous load in rough season.?
Can't imagine what the trip was like. Incredible to see the parts that I did.
That's TIGHT! Some crow's nest though.
Wish I had realized sooner that there were people up there. Really would have been great to have multiple camera angles.
