BigLift Shipping is putting an end to its co-operation with Rolldock Shipping after four years.

BigRoll Shipping, the joint venture (JV) between the two Dutch companies, will cease operations from 1 January 2018, BigLift said in a brief statement on its website.

Two out of four heavy transport ships under BigRoll’s umbrella will be added to the BigLift fleet.

The 23,134-gt BigLift Barentsz and BigLift Baffin (both built 2016) will become the new additions for BigLift.
