Jumbo currently has two ships under construction, the J-1800 class. Of this series have been two ships in service since the year 2004. In the year 2008 there will be 4.

In 1956 was the first time Stella purchased a coaster for that time with four heavy 12-ton derrickDerrick
A derrick is a lifting device composed of one tower, or guyed mast such as a pole which is hinged freely at the bottom. It is controlled by lines powered by some means such as man-hauling or motors, so that the pole can move in all four directions. A line runs up it and over its top with a hook on...
