SCOPE OF WORK
This scope covered the global transport of large industrial process to Azerbaijan.
For the HDPE plant, equipment was collected from various locations worldwide and shipped via the Black Sea to the project site in Sumgait, Azerbaijan. For the refinery upgrade in Baku, Azerbaijan, equipment was also collected at origin, then transported via the Black Sea and through the Russian river system before delivery to site.
The cargo comprised several heavy and oversized units. This included eleven large storage vessels, with the largest weighing 346 mt and measuring over 56 m in length. A key item was a reactor weighing 527 mt and measuring more than 32 m long.
These projects required movement of cargo mainly Italy/Europe, India, Korea and China via both land and river routes to the site at Sumgait, Azerbaijan.
