Denholm Global Logistics  and BNSF Logistics cooperated for a significant steel mill transport.

BNSF shipped the steel mill pieces from Shanghai on a Hoegh ro-ro vessel. The cargo was loaded on 100-ton mafis and then rolled on the vessel for transport to Newcastle in the UK, Worldwide Project Consortium said on behalf of its members, U.K.-based Denholm and U.S.-based BNSF.

The cargo consisted of two slag pots, each measuring 6.25 meters long, 4.83 meters wide and 3.51 meters high with weights of 53 tonnes.

BNSF was responsible for controlling the delivery through to Lackenby near Middlesbrough.
