From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Ville de Bordeaux is a ship carrier designed to transport the elements of the Airbus A380. It was conceived by Deltamarin and built in Nanjing, China using the Jinling shipyard.
The ship, which first sailed in 2004, is operated by Fret (subsidiary company of Louis Dreyfus Armateurs, France) and CETAM, subsidiary of the Norwegian ship-owner Leif Høegh.
The transporter carries the A380 wings from the port of Mostyn in North Wales to Bordeaux, France.
