Workers at JAXPORT's Talleyrand Marine Terminal move massive trucks bound for the Bahamas

December 30, 2016
No Comments

Highly trained stevedores at JAXPORT's Talleyrand Marine Terminal recently moved four massive Caterpillar 770 specialty dump trucks onto a roll-on, roll-off cargo ship bound for a Morton Salt facility in the southern Bahamas. The trucks will be used to haul salt harvested for water softening and road de-icing.

JAXPORT's 100-ton multi-purpose whirly crane was used to lift the vehicles — each weighing 35 tons, standing 14 feet tall and measuring 30 feet in length — onto the chartered vessel VI-NAIS. The four trucks were transported to Jacksonville via individual flatbed tractor trailers from a heavy equipment dealer in St. Augustine, Fla., where they had been refurbished.

The stevedores involved in the operation are experienced in the movement of specialty, heavy-lift cargo and are employed by JAXPORT tenant Seaonus.

Talleyrand Marine Terminal offers 4,780 linear feet of berth space and is conveniently located near three U.S. interstates, I-10, I-95 and I-75. Jacksonville's skilled workforce offers a variety of labor options, including highly trained master riggers specializing in heavy lift and project cargo.
