ABL Group and Mammoet complete DosBocas marine transportation project

Energy and marine consultancy ABL Group and its client Mammoet have successfully completed 12 heavy lift shipments of refinery equipment to the new Dos Bocos project in Mexico.

Dos Bocas is a 566-hectare project which, once complete, will be the biggest refinery in Mexico and the first to be built in the country in forty years.

The refinery project is part of the Mexican government’s efforts to become less dependent on imported fuel. Once the refinery is complete, the capacity will be 170,000 barrels per day of petrol and 120,000 barrels per day of ultra-low sulphur diesel.

Over the past year, ABL Germany has provided project management, owner’s engineering, and client representation services to the major heavy-lift transportation company Mammoet for 12 large shipments made by heavy-lift vessels.

Cargo has been shipped to various ports in Europe, the United States and India. ABL has also conducted technical reviews and provided recommendations on method statements – including mooring, stowage, lifting, load spreading, and sea fastening – prepared by the carriers.
