PTSC Thanh Hoa successfully discharge the largest super heavy cargo

In the morning of April 15^th 2015, at  Temporary Jett, in Nghi Son Refinery and Petrochemical Project – Tinh Gia district,  Thanh Hoa Province, PTSC Thanh Hoa Port Joint Stock Company (owned by PetroVietnam Technical Services Corporation) welcomed marine vessel Lone – flag Antigua Barbuda, with the length of overall 160.5 m; 15,199 GT.

MV Lone is a vessel belonging to S.A.L Heavy Lift Company – one of the most prestigious heavy cargo shipping company in the world. MV Lone is equipped with modern facilities: two Azimuth propellers and two ship’s cranes with a lifting capacity up to 2,000 tons and excellent skilled and high disciplined crews.

MV Lone is capable of carrying a total of 8 gauge packages of oversized super heavy cargo - including special equipment for NSRP. It remarkably conveyed an equipment with the length up to 95m - the longest separator of the entire line equipment discharged in NSRP Complex. In addition, there is another package of separator equipment weighing more than 900T, which is considered to be the heaviest equipment of this project until now.

The discharging progress was extremely complicated due to the characteristics of the oversized and super heavy cargo, as well as the space constraint and the area of Temporary Jetty. Especially the unloading process of the equipment from the ship to the jetty, as well as the transferring process to the accommodation position were relatively complex. MV Lone was therefore forced to make turnover, change and recede about 30m from the berth to carry out discharging the equipment package with nearly 100m of length.

However, thanks to the close monitoring and guidance of the project leaders, the detailed and thorough preparation of the supervisors as well as HSE and stevedoring team of PTSC Thanh Hoa, the entire discharging process took place smoothly, conveniently and in accordance with the plan.
