Hamburg-based Rickmers-Linie has been selected by Spirit AeroSystems as its partner for the transportation of airliner fuselage sections for Airbus from Morehead City, USA, to Montoir (Port of Nantes St. Nazaire) in Northern France.
The contract covers the transportation of fuselage sections and will run over a period of several years. The fuselage sections are designed for the Airbus A350 XWB series.
After a trial shipment was carried out successfully earlier this year, the contract was signed on July 14 in Hamburg.
