Potteries have successfully delivered in Ireland for a long standing client. The project included Potteries discharging and delivering 3000+ Tonnes of project cargo from 4 vessels in Greenore port.

Potteries provided full route assessments, swept path analysis and input into the design of the cargo. Potteries provided a full suite of services to complete the project.
Heavy lift vessels departing from China, India and Europe delivered the cargo to Greenore Port.
