AAL: a major delivery to Texas LNG facility
AAL Shipping has successfully transported 12,800 freight tonnes (frt) of heavy lift project cargo from South Korean ports to Beaumont, Texas, using its Asia to Americas trade lane and the vessel ‘AAL Brisbane’.
The cargo, part of a significant LNG project in Texas, included a 607 t AGR absorber, the heaviest unit ever handled by AAL on this trade lane. Other components included a 40 m, 436 t HP MR absorber and three dehydrators weighing nearly 200 t each.
The operation took 113 hours to discharge in Beaumont, with 3.5 hours dedicated to the largest unit. ‘AAL Brisbane’'s capabilities and a dedicated team made this complex shipment a success. The LNG facility will enhance US energy security and export clean energy from Texas globally, creating numerous jobs. (pb)
