Duegro has successfully delivered over 7,324 m3 and over 1,441 tonnes of critical equipment from Oman to Belgium for the INEOS Terminal Expansion Project, on behalf of engineering contractors Worley.
The cargo encompassed a variety of oversized and heavy lift units with weights of up to over 200 tones: three up to over 13.05 x 6.08 x 10.83-metre ethylene vessel skids, three up to over 13.50 x 6.00 x 9.90-metre refrigerant chiller skids, and three refrigerant compressor skids with volumes of up to over 14.35 x 7.00 x 7.45 metres. While the ethylene vessel skids were moved by conventional trailer with four files x 15-axles and SPMT with four files x 12-axles files, the refrigerant compressor skids were moved by two files x 15-axles trailers and the refrigerant chiller skids by SPMT with four files x 12-axles.
‘Meticulous planning and preparation, combined with close and clockwork-like operational collaboration and communication between all partners, as well as the seamless coordination between on-site project management and transport engineering, made this project a success,’ says Joost Maranus, project manager at deugro Antwerp.
