Special shipment from South Korea to Poland
Hyundai Engineering contracted Deugro to 120,000 freight tonnes of petrochemical equipment, from South Korea and China to Police, Poland. The project in question encompassed a number of oversized and heavy lift (OSHL) units, including an 889 t and 96 m propylene-propane splitter, five 614 t and over 72 m long propylene storage bullets, and a 596 t reactor.
The transport took nearly a year to prepare. The biggest and heaviest cargo units were loaded on two heavy lift vessels at the Ports of Gunsan and Masan, South Korea and at the Port of Zhangjiagang, China.
In total, 7,156 t were discharged at the Port of Morski in Poland, where temperatures dropped to –17°C. On three barges, transportation continued to the Barkowy jetty, 6 km away. (sh)
