deugro Hamburg has been selected as preferred project freight forwarder to be involved in the logistical handling of the second expansion phase of the biggest Steel Plant on the African continent, located in Casablanca, Morocco.

deugro has already handled two charter voyages, which will be followed by further consecutive voyages from China to Casablanca, Morocco where the biggest steel plant of the African continent is being built.

The service scope of deugro includes a very detailed project forward planning to control the timely delivery of the goods to the respective loading ports as well as expediting and the ocean transportation to Morocco.

 The MV “Beluga Intonation” successfully loaded two oversized components on board in the Korean port of Masan. The first piece of cargo, a so-called Reformate Splitter Tower, weighed 323 metric tons, had a diameter of seven meters and a length of over seventy-seven meters. The second piece of cargo, also a Reformate Splitter Tower, was loaded in three parts with a total gross weight over 225 metric tons.

Upon arrival in the US Gulf Coast, the cargoes will be discharged directly to trucks at the Port of Corpus Christi and to barge at the Port of Port Arthur, respectively. Henceforth, the units will then be transported to job sites located at two different refineries.

Several full charter voyages have safely arrived in the ports of Algeria and consisted of heavy lift items with unit weights up to 250 metric tons.

The discharge operation of  two 250 MT boiler units was planned and supervised by deugro’s in house Technical Engineering Department (TED), which has become a strategic planning center for the entire deugro organization.

In July 2009, deugro Singapore continued its success and expertise in FPSO projects when they were entrusted with the ‘Tupi Pilot’ FPSO conversion project in China & Thailand.  deugro’s scope of work is the turn-key transportation of plant and equipment from worldwide origins to Laem Chabang, Thailand; Batam, Indonesia; Dalian and Tianjin, China where the ship and fabrication yards are located.

The VLCC (Very Large Crude Carrier) M/V Sunrise IV will be converted into the FPSO Cidade de Angra dos Reis MV22.  After completion of the conversion, the FPSO will be capable of processing 100,000 barrels of oil per day or 150,000 barrels of total fluids per day, 150 million cubic feet per day of gas and having a storage capacity of approximately 1,600,000 barrels. The FPSO will also be able to inject 100,000 barrels of water per day. The FPSO is planned to arrive in Brazil in the 4th quarter 2010 and will be installed in 2,150 meters water depth. The FPSO is designed to remain on the field for up to 20 years.

deugro is especially proud to be involved in this project which is the sixth consecutive award over the past 4 years, a demonstration of deugro’s commitment, strength & presence in the Oil & Gas Offshore related transport industry.
