Heavy lift carrier AAL Shipping has handled a series of five project cargo shipments from China to eastern Australia for a major brownfield coal project in Mackay, Queensland.
The cargoes were delivered using several of AAL’s 19,000 dwt S-class vessels on its Asia to Australia East and West Coast liner service. The shipments were moved from Shanghai on behalf of Geodis Australia.
The project involves the disassembly and replacement of a berth and shiploader. The site is located within the lease boundaries of the Hay Point Coal Terminal, approximately 38 km south of Mackay.
The first shipment included heavy lift components to facilitate the onsite installation of new berth modules. The cargo comprised temporary steelworks including walkways, platforms, huts and piles – the latter between 2 m and 53 m in length.
Other shipments included equipment to support preparatory works as well as 86 frames and walkways.
