Lutgerdina takes a car onboard

Our charter arrangement includes pickup service This means that you don't have to get right to the meetingpoint. We can pick you up.

To pick you up from the hotel, airport or railwaystation, we have this rugged looking 4x4 car with open roof, airconditioning and builtin phone and navigation system with us. This car is also available for daytrips you may have planned during your stay. Anything is possible, not a single day needs to be alike. This car with a huge funfactor is traveling with us in an underdeck garage.

Below we give you an impression of the car and the craning.

	Photo 1 The Fiat Cross 4x4 Diesel is nicely polished and waiting for us in the showroom from Jetten Otoskoop in Boxmeer.
	Photo 2 The interior of our small guest car is complete.
	Photo 3 Decorated with a logo, our car is ready for business. Do you feel like touring through the champagne area or beeing brought to Eurodisney?
	Photo 4 The car is taken on board in an underdeck garage. These pictures we'll show you how this is done. The lid is off and we're now pulling the carcage up to crane it onto the kay.
	Photo 5 The cage will protect the car when we are lowering it into the garage.
	Photo 6 We swing the empty carcage to the kay.
	Photo 7 Moored at Gennep with everything prepared to drive the car into the cage.
	Photo 8 With a litte help from an extra pair of eyes, It is easyer to get te car properly alligned.
	Photo 9 The car is in the cage.
	Photo 10 The barge tilts slightly when the full weight of the car is on the side.
	Photo 11 The car is halfway between the garage and the kay.
	Photo 12 Halfway into the garage
	Photo 13 The car sinks into the barge.
	Photo 14 The car is in. There is not much margin but the guides should prevent anything from gooing wrong.
	Photo 15 These are the Maxima locks at Lith. They have an official (but small) facility to load/unload cars.
	Photo 16 Our first time to unload the car. Firmly moored and with the crane ready for duty.
