One of our biggest projects yet. Cosmatos Group is proud to announce the successful delivery of 3 propylene storage bullet tanks, each up to an impressive 650 tons, loaded from Thessaloniki Port and safely discarged at Soussaki Port, Greece.
Each tank had dimensions of L x W x H 67.50 x 7.60 x 10.70m. They were loaded onto ship with 2 x 900 mt SWL craned by lifting in tandem with the use of two beams.
Two trailers were used for the transport. Each trailer was equipped with a turntable for pivoting and had a width of 4.90m and length of 24.00m. Each platform had 16 axles and each axle 3 sets of 4 tyres.
Our scope included:
- Port entry formalities of the 3 bullets
- Stage of each bullet on four (380x380x35cm) concrete slabs to reduce pressure on the ground as per THPA engineering dpt instructions
- Key meetings with all stakeholders, port arrangements, booking gang, overall co-ordination for a smooth co-operation
- Issuance of Cabotage permit due to a non Greek Flag vessel
- Port entry formalities of the rental additional beam, storage and delivery alongside
- Welding gang and permit including gas free, safety engineer.
- Pre-loading survey
- Providing daily reports to all stakeholders for berthing prospects and loading operations
Very big and very heavy, a profound heavylift operation that we are proud to have been involved with.
