The following pictures show one of many shipments of pipes we have had from Bremen regularly. This lot of 6.500 FRT coated and uncoated pipes was loaded as bottom cargo into the lower hold of MV"NORMED Antwerpen" in April 2010 for destination Korsakov, Russia. The uncoated pipes were loaded by vacuum gear, a safe and fast way of pipe-handling which originates in Bremen. The coated pipes were loaded with pipe hooks which are made of special material for avoiding damages of the sensitive tube ends.
