On 30th August last, the Marfret Niolon took on a consignment of Airbus aircraft wings at Portbury Dock in the UK for delivery to Montoir de Bretagne. The cargo comprised four items, including the 21.3 m long by 6.25m wide wings, weighing 20 tonnes, loaded on mobile frames. The European aircraft manufacturer entrusted the operation to Louis Dreyfus Seaplane.
Once the special operation finished, the Marfret vessel returned to its normal duties on 9th September on the MPV line between Northern Europe, French Guiana and the West Indies.
