Roll Group wins ethane cracker project contract

Roll Group has been awarded a contract to transport 24 modules for the Total ethane cracker project in the US.The transport will cover seven single voyages, using both RollDock and BigRoll vessels. The services and expertise of Roll-Lift will also play a part in the completion of the land transport aspects of the project.The first voyage is scheduled within the next two weeks. The other transports will be undertaken between April and August 2019. The modules are currently in the process of building in Hamriyah, the UAE. After completion, Roll Group will roll the modules on board of our vessels for transportation to Port Arthur, US. It is the first time that Roll Group will complete the transportation from the fabrication yard to the job site of such a large project - including the land transport, according to Wiebe Broeksma, Roll Group Project Manager. “This was one of the reasons our client awarded the contract to us, since we have the ability to load and discharge the majority of the cargo directly from the quay onto our RollDock vessels and vice versa, due to the limited draft of our vessels.’’
