Ambercor moves outsized reclaimer booms from Turkiye to Canada

The Canadian based project freight forwarding team of experts at Ambercor Shipping, members of the Worldwide project Consortium (WWPC) for Canada, were part of executing and delivering two complex reclaimer booms to a project site in Canada.

The booms are part of a large, currently on-going, project that Ambercor is handling for their customer.

Christian Wagner, Vice President of Ambercor Shipping, Calgary, AB explained: “The reclaimer booms measured in at 113’8” x 14’2” x 8’5” (LxWxH) and weighed 66,500 lbs each.

They were moved from Turkiye to Canada, via Houston, USA, using a part charter vessel in the summer of 2024. Ambercor in tandem with their partners worked closely to move this cargo by truck from the factory to the port of loading, ocean transport to from Turkiye to Houston, and lastly by overland transportation to site once the cargo arrived into North America.

The reclaimer booms were then transported and delivered using a bunk and dolly set up from Houston all the way up to site. Our experience ensured that the over the road portion was smooth – once it got going.

The reclaimer booms are now being inspected and will be installed later on site.

Thank you to all our partners for making this a success.”
