Working Conditions Aboard the Wish-Way

On February 16, 2020, the container vessel 'Wish Way' experienced a significant mishap as it arrived in Willemstad, Curaçao, from Taicang. The ship, which was carrying two container gantry cranes, collided with the iconic Queen Juliana Bridge during its passage underneath. The bridge, standing at a height of 56 meters, was thought to provide ample clearance; however, the cranes' height was two-thirds of the expected transit space needed for safe passage. Fortunately, despite the incident, bridge traffic was temporarily halted for an inspection, but reopened shortly after as the structural damage proved to be minimal. In contrast, the cranes sustained considerable damage, impacting their planned assembly in the port. Originally slated to take two to three months for setup, the timeline for construction now faces delays due to this unforeseen event.

In an impressive maritime operation, the world-renowned grab dredger, GOSHO, has been securely loaded onto the semi-submersible heavy load vessel, WISH WAY. This momentous event took place in Ise Bay, Japan, marking a significant step in the dredging industry's advancements. The WISH WAY is now en route to Singapore, where it is scheduled to arrive around March 10th. Upon its arrival, the GOSHO will be deployed by the TTP1 Diap-Daelim joint venture, further contributing to major infrastructural projects in the region. This transportation showcases the capabilities of modern shipbuilding and dredging technology, as the GOSHO holds the title of the world's largest dredging vessel.
