BigLift’s Happy Ranger Discharges 370t Transformer at Port of Monroe

Recently the Port of Monroe, Michigan’s only port on Lake Erie, was “Happy” to welcome the BigLift Shipping B.V. vessel Happy Ranger. The vessel discharged a 370t transformer for a DTE Energy power plant onto a specialized HLI Rail & Rigging, LLC rail car. The port’s turning basin rail spur makes direct ship-to-rail transfers like this possible.

The Happy Ranger loaded the transformer at the Port of Antwerp-Bruges, and is just one example of how cargo can be efficiently transported into the heartland of North America via the Great Lakes/St. Lawrence Seaway!

The Port of Monroe was proud to be a part of this cargo evolution!
