Handling Cold Boxes for Africa

 Loading first cold box

The motor vessel Industrial Achiever, a specialized Roll on - Roll off semi-submersible vessel, loads two massive Cold Boxes for an LNG plant under construction in West Africa. Built at a fabrication plant in New Iberia, Louisiana, the 700-ton boxes were transported to Houston by barge where they were trans-loaded to the Industrial Achiever for the subsequent ocean journey to West Africa.

The Cold Boxes loaded onto the Industrial Achiever on a roll on basis from barge to ship utilizing the vessel’s Ro-Ro ramp capable of handling pieces up to 1,200 metric tons. This operation was performed utilizing self-propelled multi axle heavy lift trailers (SPMTs). For complete details click here
