Wellard Limited has taken delivery of the world’s largest live export ship following its delivery from Cosco Dalian in China.
Australia’s largest cattle exporter said the Ocean Shearer (built 2016) will immediately increase its fleet carrying capacity by 50%.
Wellard said the newbuilding is an improved version of the successful design of its flagship, the Ocean Drover (built 2001).
With a 23,500 square metre carrying capacity it can transport 20,000 cattle or 75,000 sheep or a combination of both.
