FLEET OVERVIEW
AAL was instrumental in designing and building our popular next generation multipurpose heavy lift vessels. Our knowledge of the sector and its cargo demands is reflected in their superior design and integral to meeting the demands of the market. We harness this expertise and customer focus in the selection of all the ships in our fleet. The fleet is one of the sector’s largest and youngest. It comprises multiple vessel sizes with flexibility in design, configuration and equipment to carry any cargo type: breakbulk, project heavy lift, dry bulk commodities, containers and general cargo and all at the same time.
Today, AAL is in pole position within the ‘Mega-Size’ multipurpose vessel segment, offering significant economies of scale and exceptional heavy-lift capability (max 700 mt).
