NIRINT recently added additional service between Halifax and ports in Cuba and the Caribbean. The new service employs the NIRINT Commander, which has a capacity of 377 TEUs. The vessel will transport heavy equipment, rolling machinery, containers and project cargo from Pier 27 in the Port of Halifax. “It’s a multi-purpose vessel that is geared up to transport 67 tonnes”, explains Elias Hage, director of NIRINT Canada.
The N. Commander will travel on a rotation between Halifax and the Cuban cities of Moa, Matanzas and Havana. Multifunctional terminals in all ports of call ensure central coordination of planning, scheduling and execution, complimenting NIRINT’s multi-purpose fleet. The new service compliments the Dutch-based company’s existing service to Europe, which has ran for three years and calls on the port of Moerdijk, Holland, plus Halifax.
