the svanen HLV was towed to Canada atop the Contwin submersible...

THE NAVAL REVIEW

Vol. 83 No. 4 OCTOBER 1995

MERCHANT NAVAL COLUMN, page 341-342:

Another interesting heavy lift successfully

completed recently involved the 76m wide,

94m long and 110m high Svanen on a 3,200

mile transatlantic voyage from Dunkirk to

Prince Edward Island in Canada. The 8,200

tonne capacity vessel will be employed on

bridge construction across Northumberland

Strait, joining PEI to the mainland over 13km.

Two 15,000 hp tugs completed the tow in 17

days with the Svanen loaded on to the sernisub

barge Contwin.
