Wirtz Shipping are pleased to report a shipment of 4 historical rail wagons handled earlier this month to Singapore.

Wirtz organised the transfer from the barge & trucks to railed 72' MAFIs and the booking with Eukor / Wallenius for the shipping on MS. Tiger. Didier Wirtz (Managing Director) comments; "Due to difficulty in obtaining road permits, careful planning was necessary to catch a vessel with large enough doors. The most impressive part was pulling the locomotive from the railed truck onto the railed MAFI. The wagons origin was a museum in France and they are being used for an exposition in Singapore starting in early December."
