Project:
Swans Energy Park Loadout
Agent/Clients/Third Parties:
SMD, Global Offshore Logistics Ltd, Lubbers Logistics Group, NXGEN Lifting Ltd
Workscope:
Our vessel support team safely berthed vessel Bonita at Swans Energy Park. Using our 300-tonne mobile crane, three ancillaries were lifted from the vessel and loaded onto a Lubbers truck for transport to SMD's facility. Following the safe departure of Bonita, our vessel support team berthed vessel Western Rock at Swans Energy Park the next day. SMD's heavy-duty power cable plough was lifted from the vessel onto an NXGEN SPMT and transported to SMD's yard. Western Rock subsequently departed safely with support from our vessel support team.
