PFAFFIKON, Schwyz — deugro has delivered a 392-metric-ton and 15.8 m x 13.2 m x 17.2 m CO2 removal system from Rizhao to the COSCO Shipyard Qidong, China on behalf of its client in the energy industry.

The journey began in Rizhao, China, and concluded at the COSCO Shipyard Qidong, spanning a domestic inland road journey of 10 km and a barge journey of two days. After the cargo arrived at the port, the roll-on operation from dockside to barge was completed, and the cargo was successfully lashed and secured for its further ocean journey to China.

To overcome the logistical challenges posed by such colossal cargo, deugro said it employed self-propelled modular transporters consisting of 36-axle lines. These transporters ensured the safe and successful pre-carriage of the CO2 removal system, maneuvering through a series of demanding obstacles along the way. These included navigating six turns, lifting traffic lights and removing gates at the toll station, all of which required precise planning and meticulous execution.

Prior to the operation, deugro said it conducted thorough route surveys and comprehensive method statements, and a marine warranty surveyor was present throughout the operation, ensuring compliance and mitigating any risks effectively.
