Heavy transport company Roll Group will take control of two wide-deck carriers from the global logistics company KMC Line, from the second half of 2025 onwards. The two vessels will be renamed Bigroll KMC Beaumont and Bigroll KMC Busan. 

The decision follows a memorandum of understanding for commercial operation signed in June last year.

With the addition of these two wide-deck carriers, Roll Group will have the possibility to offer a larger fleet of 10 heavy transport project vessels. The enlarged fleet will allow better scheduling, redundancy of risk, and higher flexibility for our clients.

Roll Group CEO, Peter Rondhuis, expressed his excitement, stating, “Roll Group is delighted to expand its fleet with two vessels. This expansion is crucial to meeting increased demand from our clients and realizing the company’s growth ambitions. We are grateful to KMC Line for making this expansion possible.”
