ALE informed it has completed the transportation, load-out, and load-in operations for Bechtel in Indonesia and Australia, as part of the construction of the A$24.7 billion Australia Pacific LNG project.
The company was contracted by Bechtel in August 2011 to carry out the site transportations and load-outs of 69 modules at the S.M.O.E. yard in Batam and Indonesia, and at the LNG facility on Curtis Island in Gladstone, Queensland.
The 69 modules ranged in weight from 100t to 3,363t. There was a total of 665 site-moves of various cargo, including the load-in of project components from ships at the neighbouring Kabil Port.
ALE then performed the load-out of the modules onto barges. For the load-out of module 101DA, which was the heaviest module weighing 3,363t, ALE utilised the maximum configuration of 168 axle lines of SPMT and six power packs, the company said in a statement issued on Wednesday.
A total of 29 sea voyages completed delivery to the Australia Pacific LNG site at Curtis Island, where all 69 modules were received, loaded-in and placed in their final operational location by ALE’s Australian branch.
Australia Pacific LNG is a joint venture between Origin Energy (37.5%), ConocoPhillips (37.5%) and Sinopec (25%).
