SWIRE Projects, the projects and heavy lift shipping services division of Swire Shipping, completed the inaugural voyage of its first of three chartered H-Class vessels, Pacific Hero.

The 28,500-deadweight multipurpose vessel has a lifting capacity of up to 150 mts.

Announced in mid-2022, Swire Projects took three multipurpose vessels on long-term charter, to be renamed Pacific Honour, Pacific Humility and Pacific Hero. The vessels have now entered Swire Projects’ service starting with Pacific Hero.

The voyage carried a cargo of brewery tanks and equipment consisting of 119 packages of about 28,900 cubic metres. The cargo was loaded in Rotterdam, the Netherlands and discharged in Guaymas, Mexico.

Swire Projects general manager Namir Khanbabi said, “These vessels are a testament to our long-term business commitment to provide the highest level of service and efficiency to our clients. We look forward to seeing all three H-Class vessels in action and delivering cargo safely and on time.”
