Siba Ships have set a new record for livestock shipment, moving 22,100 steers and heifers from Darwin, Australia to Jakarta and Panjang, Indonesia in one shipment aboard the 'Deneb Prima'.
The previous global record on the same ship was 20,900 cattle. It took 36 hours to load the cattle’s on board, weighing 8,000 tonnes and consumed 200 tonnes of feed per day on their voyage. The cattle trade to Indonesia is a vital export trade for Australia and provides a major protein source for South East Asia, says, Mauro Baizarini, chairman of Siba Ships. Siba also began a new regular service this week by shipping one of the largest ever consignments of dairy cattle from Australian shores, from Portland, Victoria, to Mexico. Siba Ships is the Italian ship owning arm of the Baizarini group which specializes in the trading and transportation of livestock. Over more than forty years, the company has transported livestock mainly from Australia to the Middle East, South East Asia and South America.
