Brisbane to Nauru 2 x 100 Gen Sets 2700 cbm (10)

Created on: 31 Mar 2020
Hi OPCA family

This job was done in June 2018. We were contract by our customer to deliver 2 x 100 tonne gen sets on to the island of Nauru, which has no heavy equipment or cranes on the island. TGI had to mobilise all its own equipment. The job took around 30 days from start to finish. Very complex as Nauru at that time could not handle break bulk, so we had to build a landing area for the LCT to unload.

Hope you enjoy
