GAC delivers multi-origin shipment to new Azerbaijan oil field
GAC's teams based in the UK and Russia have successfully delivered a mega shipment for pile driving and swaging works in the northern Caspian Yuri Korchagin oil field that one of Russia's largest oil companies is developing.
The shipment was delivered to LUKOIL subcontractor GT Sever (GT North) for the Korchagin field Stage II development. GAC was appointed to coordinate multiple loads totalling 500 tonnes of equipment from the UK, Netherlands and Germany.
The move included a block conductor and pile fastenings to be installed at the culmination of Stage II of marine operations development currently underway in the Russian sector of the North Caspian Sea, reported GAC's Hot Port News.
The time-critical operation started with pre-carriage pick-up of cargo from England and the Netherlands, with the last-minute addition of an out-of-gauge item from Germany, for delivery to Rotterdam.
GAC pulled out all the stops to obtain the required permits to enable the 20 units - the two heaviest of which weighed 105 tonnes each and were 15 metres long - to be loaded on to a vessel sailing for Poti in Georgia.
When it arrived 11 days later, the vessel could not berth for two days due to poor weather conditions. When the port reopened, the company arranged and supervised the direct uploading of the cargo using the ship's gear, onto waiting trucks at an alternative terminal. Then, the trucks started the final 900 km journey by road to Baku in Azerbaijan.
