Tera Projects & Shipping handle transport of huge pipeline reels

Tera Projects & Shipping were recently appointed to handle the transport of huge flexible pipeline reels, along with some accessories, from Binzhou in China to Johor Bahru, Malaysia. 

This shipment comprised of four pieces, with the largest reel measuring 10.00 x 6.77 x 10.00m. The cargo was loaded at the client's private jetty in Binzhou before eventually being lifted and loaded onto a self-propelled barge utilising a 350tn capacity floating crane.

The self-propelled barge then departed to Taicang Port to undergo a ship-to-ship transfer operation berthed alongside a chartered heavy-lift vessel.

The heavy-lift vessel then left for Johor Port to unload the reels onto a double wide multi-axle trailer to be delivered onto concrete stools at the temporary storage yard. Following this, the reels were jacked up and shifted to the wharf side before lifting and loading onto a multi-purpose offshore vessel using the vessel's crane.
