CEA Projects handles overland transport in Thailand for Iraqi co.
XLProject member CEA Projects and Logistics Thailand recently carried out the FOBs for an oil refinery destined for Iraq. The consignment was only 836 tons / 6,269 m3 but did consist of some fairly oversized cargoes. The largest of which were 8 units at 14.3m x 6.5m diameter weighing 65 tons each and another 8 units at 6.8 m x 3 m x 5.2 m weighing in at 25 tons each. The larger units had to be top and tail lifted to be moved from their vertical position to a horizontal using 2 x 200 ton cranes. The larger units were moved on hydraulics and the smaller on low-beds in a convoy of two super oversized and two oversized in compliance with Thai convoy regulations. While the factory located on the Eastern Seaboard in Thailand is only about 12 kms from Mataphut Port by the most direct route, the cargo’s dimensions meant a much longer route needed to be taken. The four trips were carried out over two days while close coordination with the police, electrical, telephone, highway and other related authorities and departments had to be made to cut power, lift telephone and power lines, remove overhead signs, stop lights and other obstructions. All four trips went off without any problems and the coordination amongst everyone was seamless. Another great example of CEA’s capabilities for heavy lift and transportation in the Kingdom of Thailand.
