UCL Holding companies delivered oversize cargoes to the Cryogas-Vysotsk small-scale LNG terminal construction site in the Leningrad Region.
The project funded by Gazprom-affiliated Gazprombank will have an overall production capacity of 660,000 t/yr which could be expanded to 1.3 mtpa, and is expected to be commissioned in mid-2018.
UCL Holdings said that during the pre-implementation phase in November 2017, its company Universal Forwarder developed the logistic chain, while in February 2018, Sea Port of Saint-Petersburg received vessels from the United Arab Emirates and Europe carrying two gas liquefaction units of more than 29 meters in length and weighing 240 tonnes each.
The vessels also delivered two cooling units of more than 24 meters in length and weighing 90 tonnes each, as well as components.
Between March 13 and March 15, the first batch of cargo, one unit and supplementary equipment, was loaded at the port onto Onyx, a North-Western Shipping Company’s vessel, that delivered the load to the port of Vysotsk. The vessels delivered the second batch of equipment on March 22.
The facility at the port of Vysotsk will include a 42,000 cubic meter LNG storage tank, a jetty capable of loading 22,000-cbm carriers, barges up to 5,000-cbm and a truck loading facility.
The facility is being set up with the aim to deliver LNG to customers in the Baltic.
