MV Becrux

Mon, Jul 28, 2008
MV Becrux is a modern day Noah's Ark, a $100-million custom-built ship designed to carry one of Australia's most important exports: livestock. Join her on her latest mission delivering 16,000 cattle and $12 million of cargo to Indonesia. The job will require 300 tons of feed and 100,000 gallons of water a day, plus a high-powered ventilation system and state-of-the-art electronics just to get moving. Add in a tight deadline, heavy traffic, and pirate-infested seas, and it makes for one intense journey.

This winter, she'll be pushed to the limit when a major winter storm wreaks havoc on the Newfoundland area. Its small coastal communities are counting on Henry Larsen, and her support helicopter, to save them from imminent isolation.
