FLEET OVERVIEW
AAL boasts one of the sector’s youngest fleets of new generation and technologically advanced multipurpose heavy lift vessels. For 25 years, we have serviced the world’s most dynamic industries and become carrier of choice for some of the leading names in their respective sectors – handling all manner of breakbulk, project heavy lift and dry bulk. Having completed our new building program in 2014 and with added quality tonnage through long-term time charters and global cooperations, we are today ranked among the world’s leading multipurpose operators, with carefully selected and highly flexible classes of mpp vessel positioned around the world, serving the needs of both our Chartering Solutions and Liner Services.
Within our diverse operating fleet of 23 MPVs, we have owned tonnage comprising 14 multipurpose heavy lift vessels – A-Class (31,000 dwt) and the S-Class (19,000 dwt). These vessels offer superior infrastructure with side-mounted heavy lift cranes (700 t max lift), large and even deck space, removable and height-adjustable ‘tween decks, large box-shaped cargo holds with independent dehumidifiers, strengthened tank tops as well as appropriate lifting and lashing equipment. They were designed to load and transport all manner of industrial and commercial project heavy lift and dry bulk cargo to and from the busiest, or most remote, ports across the world.
Supporting this fleet are in-house operations and engineering teams, on-hand to plan and execute complex stowage and securing solutions that insure the safest possible transit of cargo, vessel and crew from port to port.
