deugro has achieved a significant milestone by delivering a 392-metric-ton CO2 removal system, measuring 15.8 x 13.2 x 17.2 meters, from Rizhao to the COSCO Shipyard Qidong in China for a key client in the energy industry.
The intricate journey encompassed a 10-kilometer domestic inland road trip and a two-day barge journey. Upon arrival at the port, a seamless roll-on operation from dockside to barge was executed, securing the cargo for its subsequent ocean voyage to Brazil.
To tackle the logistical complexities associated with such massive cargo, deugro utilized 36-axle line Self-Propelled Modular Transporters (SPMTs). These state-of-the-art transporters navigated challenging obstacles, including six turns, lifted traffic lights, and removed gates at the toll station, demonstrating precise planning and execution.
Ahead of the operation, the deugro team conducted thorough route surveys and comprehensive method statements, prioritizing safety. A marine warranty surveyor was present throughout the operation to ensure compliance and effectively manage risks.
Roman Lorenzen, Branch Manager, deugro, Malaysia, emphasized the collaborative effort between deugro’s Malaysia and China offices, highlighting meticulous planning and coordination. Qu Peng, Head of Area North China, deugro, commended the execution team’s resilience in overcoming dynamic tidal windows and adverse weather conditions. Special recognition was given to Gauss Yan for closely monitoring the entire complex project, underscoring deugro’s unwavering commitment to success.
