    Chapman Freeborn Airchartering oversaw the time-critical delivery of 60 tons of pipe spooling from Sharjah to Houston for an equipment upgrade at a gas-to-liquids processing plant.

    The air cargo charter specialist’s Dubai office coordinated the movement, on behalf of a freight forwarder, with the assistance of Magma Aviation, which repositioned a nose-loading B747-400F aircraft to the Middle East for the operation.

    In May this year, Chapman Freeborn increased its minority holding to a 75% stake in UK-based Magma Aviation, an aircraft management firm. At the same time as the increase shareyholding, Magma took operational control of a second B747-400F from Air Atlanta Icelandic.

    Chapman Freeborn’s cargo team was able to make a detailed loadability assessment of the pipe spooling and provide packaging advice for the urgent consignment — which included six crates of pipes of varying weights and dimensions, with the largest of the pieces measuring over 13 metres in length.

    Under the supervision of specialist loadmasters, the outsize equipment was carefully transferred from flatbed trucks and onto high loaders using an external crane brought in for the project.

    Following the successful loading of the complex cargo in Sharjah, the Magma aircraft departed on schedule and flew to the US via a short refuelling stop in Liege, Belgium.

    The equipment was cleared quickly in Houston for onward transit to its final destination for installation.

    Vikas Chaturvedi, Chapman Freeborn’s commercial manager for India and Middle East, said:  “Time-critical shipments of this kind can be challenging when the load consists of multiple outsize pieces – but with the help of Magma Aviation and the other parties involved we’re pleased to have ensured a smooth operation.”

    Australian energy company AGL has selected Crib Point, Western Port, in Victoria as the preferred site for the construction of a gas import terminal.

    The company said that a gas import jetty and pipeline would be built in order to increase energy security and supply in south eastern Australia.

    “Crib Point is best placed to serve Victoria, Australia’s largest gas market, as well as take advantage of the existing pipeline network, industrial port facility and associated infrastructure,” AGL added.

    AGL will continue to engage with the relevant stakeholders, including Government authorities and the Western Port community, to complete feasibility studies on the proposed site.

    “This doesn’t signal the end of the feasibility studies for the proposed site but now accelerates the process. We look forward to ongoing consultation with the local community to answer their questions and proceed towards a formal application to the Victorian Government,” Richard Wrightson, AGL Executive General Manager, Wholesale Markets, said.

    “If all goes to plan, AGL would invest roughly AUD 250 million, commence construction in 2019 and bring the terminal into operation by 2020/21.”

    Authorities at the port of Peterhead in the north of Scotland have signed a contract to handle breakbulk components for the construction of an offshore windfarm near Aberdeen.

    The project will involve the use of the world’s largest floating cranes and will see installation of 11 turbines for the European Offshore Wind Deployment Center, or EOWDC.

    “This is great news for business in Peterhead, and an indication of the port’s growing reputation as a place which can accommodate some of the most challenging and cutting-edge offshore construction requirements,” said Paul Wheelhouse, UK Energy Minister.

    The project is under development by energy firm Vattenfall and has been supported by €40million of funding from the European Union and Aberdeen Renewable Energy Group. Once complete the EOWDC will have an installed capacity of 92.4 megawatts.

    Breakbulk carrier Zeaborn Group is to purchase five Superflex heavy-lift vessels from Rickmers Holding.

    The deal is expected to conclude by the end of September and the vessels are each equipped with intermediate decks for optimizable loading capacities and four cranes with a combined lifting capacity of 640 tons.

    Headquartered in Bremen in the north of Germany, Zeaborn acquired breakbulk shipper Rickmers-Linie and NPC Projects business operations earlier this year, and rebranded the carrier as Rickmers-Line. Zeaborn operates a combined fleet of about 50 multipurpose vessels, with lifting capacities of up to 700 tons.

    “The purchase of these five vessels from Rickmers Holding is therefore not only a further commitment to the expansion of commercial activities and of the Rickmers-Line, but also ensures independence from third-party tonnage and external influences. With the ownership of the liner-service vessels, we are able to ensure the Round-The-World Pearl String liner service for our customers on a sustainable basis,” said Ove Meyer, managing partner at Zeaborn.

    The five vessels purchased are Rickmers Singapore, Rickmers Jakarta, Rickmers New Orleans, Rickmers Seoul and Rickmers Dalian.

    Dynamic Rigging Hire (DRH) has supplied the rigging equipment, including a 25-tonne capacity wireless load shackle from Straightpoint, for the removal of a large hydraulic cylinder at a Melbourne Water sewer pump station in Australia.

    The Straightpoint wireless load shackle and a handheld monitoring device monitored the weight of the cylinder as it was lifted from the floor of a deep shaft in the centre of the pump station.

     Ross Johnson, general manager at DRH, explained that the wireless load shackle was required to confirm the weight of the load to ensure it did not exceed the capacity of the rigging gear and cranes.

     The contractor utilised a 55-tonne capacity overhead crane and a 25-tonne capacity mobile crane to lift the cylinder, which weighed approximately 23 tonnes. Each crane was connected to the load at two pick points.

     The overhead crane was rigged with chain slings that connected at either side of one end of the cylinder frame as it was lifted vertically. Meanwhile, the mobile crane, rigged with the same type of chain and longer, synthetic slings, lifted from the bottom as it was raised beyond the level of the shaft entrance.

     Another two hydraulic cylinders, each weighing 13 tonnes, will be removed at a later date.

     DRH provides a range of rigging, hoisting and load measurement equipment across Australia for construction, engineering, manufacturing, offshore and service projects.
