ORCV Melbourne to Vanuatu (M2V)

Need a lift.

We did. As in, we, the ORCV. You see the empty container had to first get to the warehouse and then once loaded, back the docks and ship, so it can get to the people of Vanuatu.

If you've ever had anything to do with freight forwarding, you'll know that this is a significant and very much appreciated donation arranged by Peter Ferrari from Extra Transport. So it is a big 'Thank you' going to the team at Extra Transport. Your logo will now always appear in the sponsor section below. Many thanks also to our friends at APC Logistics, who put this one together.

Now this is a really cool bit of kit. I soooooo want one of these. Don't think Holly would be that happy with it in the garage, however. Transfer a whole container or put it down and pick it back up without the need for an additional crane. This is what will be assisting us. Thank you team Extra Transport.

Now Peter also enjoys his boating. A lot. He has a Princess 65. They are like the Rolls Royce of diesel launches, which is why in the Northern Hemisphere, they refer to things like this as motor yachts. Take a look!!!!

Giddy Up!

Hero shot if ever I saw one!

She's capable of 42 knots, which means she must have some V12 Cats rated to around 1200shp each and swallow about 220litres, an hour, a side!!! Then again, if you have to ask...

Probably has three and half tonnes of juice on board, but you'll only need the juice of a few limes for the drinks. Just love her name, Peter. Cocktail hour aboard is when, by the way? Any dress code I need to be aware of?

Look forward to seeing her around Peter and may you enjoy it all immensely. We know the people of Vanuatu will very much enjoy the contents of the container you have arranged for Extra Transport to take to the ship.
