Global Projekt Logistique Concludes The Year With The Transport Of Heavy Equipment For An Ethanol Plant

  30. December 2020

Our Sri Lankan member, Global Projekt Logistique, is thrilled to share with us a huge project they completed by transporting pressure vessel tanks and other pieces of equipment including eighteen 40’ open-top ship-owned containers from India to the United States of America. These pieces of equipment will be used in an Ethanol plant for Marquis Energy LLC, USA.

A total of 2612 CBM of cargo which included 40 pieces was transported. The dimensions for the cargo were as follows:

Item Description	Qty	L (MM)	W (MM)	H (MM)	NET WEIGHT IN KG	GROSS WEIGHT
ARC Column III	1	27200	3800	3950	57650	60500
ARC Column-I Segment-2	1	25100	5000	4800	75500	78100
ARC Column II	1	28500	4500	4700	72300	75450
ARC I column reboiler	1	19900	3400	3500	41950	44300
ARC III column Reboiler	1	18700	2450	2700	24000	24850

One of the most crucial tasks was loading this cargo onto the vessel at Kandla was due to the length and the weight of the cargo. Since these packages were non-stackable, the use of a spreader for the lifting was necessary. Once the vessel arrived at the Port of New Orleans in the USA, the entire consignment would be transferred onto barges for further transportation to the job site.

In the end, the entire cargo was loaded safely and successfully. We thank The Global Projekt Logistique team for sharing some insights on this project with us and we wish you all the best for the projects to come!
