For this seatransportation MULLER utilized her versatile ASD tugboat EN AVANT 10 and seagoing barge 10033 (100,00 x 33,00 x 7,60m).
The cranes were rolled on by SPMT in the port of Malaga, Spain and transported in 4 voyages towards Valencia before to complete a final voyage with the last cranes to Bilbao.
It all started in 1779, when the Muller family became active in the shipping industry. Teunis Muller became skipper on the market ferry (beurtvaart) from Dordrecht to Zwijndrecht.
In this period Muller became very active in the project called Zuiderzee Works (Dutch: Zuiderzeewerken). This project is a man-made system of dams and dikes, land reclamation and water drainage work, in total the largest hydraulic engineering project undertaken by the Netherlands during the twentieth century. The project involved the damming of the Zuiderzee, a large, shallow inlet of the North Sea, and the reclamation of land in the newly enclosed water using polders. Its main purposes are to improve flood protection and create additional land for agriculture.
The American Society of Civil Engineers declared these works, together with the Delta Works in the South-West of the Netherlands, as among the Seven Wonders of the Modern World.
In 1983 Muller acquired Hak Heavy Transport who was active in het heavy transport and lifting market in Europe. Because of this Muller got involved in transporting and lifting heavy and voluminous loads.

Projects: Sea towageMuller maintains an extensive high-end RoRo and Wedges stock, in order to accomodate the most difficult load-outs and RoRo-discharges of all kinds of structures and cranes. Together with electrical anchor- and mooringwinches you can be sure each loading and discharge will be steady as a rock.
A short list of what we can offer you:
Water is a constant changing factor, especially in tidal seaports and rivers. Muller can ballast all his barges to the exact height and trim that's needed. No quay is too high and no bridge is too low. In order to ballast the barges Muller maintains a ballastpump fleet that is state-of-the-art in this region. Together with all kinds of hoses and connections, we move the water where it needs to go.
To run our ballastpumps, but also all other equipment such as lights, accommodation units and our mooring winches, we maintain our own power aggregrates. Our equipment list in short:
Muller is able to support the heaviest weights in diferent heights. With load-outs it is generally required to stow the cargo at a specific height above deck, in order for the SPMT equipment to drive on and off the barge. Muller has various lenghts, widths and heights in steel supports to spread the load equally into the barge strong points. We have a large stock of HEB and HEM beams in different heights to make tailor made solutions to support your cargo.
