Delivery of heavy-tonnage equipment for Amur Gas Processing Plant has started in navigation 2020
This year the first batch of large-sized cargo was shipped to a ship in Bremen (Germany) and sent to construction site of Amur Gas Processing Plant (GPP). Thus, the third campaign related to delivery of large-sized equipment within GPP construction project has begun.
Feed gas cold block modules and compressor equipment for the fourth process line of the plant will be delivered from Germany to Amur Gas Processing Plant. Cold block is intended to lower down the temperature of natural gas coming to the Plant before its supply to gas separation columns.
Delivery of cargo will take about three months, it will have to cover a distance of more than 27 thousand kilometers. The ship will pass through the Gut of Gibraltar and the Suez Canal to Singapore, then to De-Kastri port (Khabarovsk region). Here the equipment will be reloaded on the river barges and with the help of towed boat be delivered along the rivers Amur and Zeya to Amur GPP berth in the area of Svobodny.
In total, during the summer navigation of 2020, it is planned to deliver 43 units of equipment with a total weight of about 8 thousand tons to construction site of Amur GPP. 13 barge-towing arrangements will be used to transport cargo along the Russian rivers.
