Highly trained master riggers moved nine oversized specialty tanks through JAXPORT’s Blount Island Marine Terminal, home of one of the nation’s highest weight-bearing capacity docks. The new pressurized steel evaporator tanks, which arrived at JAXPORT from Zhangjiagang, China, are 45-feet in length, 20-feet in diameter, and weigh 220,000 pounds each. Workers employed by stevedoring company Portus lifted the tanks one at a time from the SAL heavy lift vessel Trina before placing them onboard two barges. The barges transported the tanks along the St. Johns River from Jacksonville to Palatka, Fla., where they will be used at a paper product manufacturing facility.
