We provide innovative and secure logistics solutions to energize communities and industries across the globe.
Focus areas
- Power generation plants (combined-cycle, hydro, nuclear, geothermal, etc.)
- Power transmission and distribution, and grid access (HVDC, substations, converter stations, etc.)
- Components such as turbines, generators, cables, HRSGs and transformers
- Energy storage (battery plants, etc.)
Value proposition
- deugro collaborates with manufacturers, EPCs and investors in the power industry to offer tailored logistics and supply chain solutions for power generation, transmission, distribution and storage.
- We specialize in turnkey project execution and swift delivery of essential components, ensuring operational continuity even in remote locations.
Industry: Power
Cargo: Gas turbines, GEN STAT and HRSG units
Highlight: Sophisticated barge unloading concept for OSHL cargo at the jetty
Origin and Destination: From Asia, Europe and the USA to Indonesia
Total volume: Approx. 80,000 freight tons
Performance: On time, within budget and with zero QHSES incidents
The Challenges
- Ground-leveling works at the airport in Kuala Namu in order to receive the heavy cargo
- Tight time schedule during the holiday season
- Loading in heavy weather conditions
Project Execution
The client made clear from the very beginning that the over 95 tons of cargo had to arrive at the construction site in northern Sumatra, Indonesia in early January, just days after the transformers were expected to be released from the factory in Finland. The shipment consisted of two transformers, weighing 36 tons each, plus accessories out of Vaasa, Finland and two five-ton rectifiers coming out of Baden, Switzerland.
deugro was only able to secure the shipment by working as a team with our air freight office in Singapore and our colleagues in Finland, who worked on the overland freight. After evaluating various options, we proposed to the client that we would consolidate both shipments in Helsinki and arrange for a combined air charter to Kuala Namu, Indonesia. Because of the transformer’s dimensions (4.9m x 2.5m x 3.3 meters each), we needed to use an Antonov AN-124-100 aircraft. The remaining capacity of this open-plan aircraft would fit the five-ton rectifiers from Switzerland perfectly. During planning and execution, this solution proved to be the most cost-effective for our client.
The Challenges
- Significant tide changes / winds / currents and busy ferry traffic on the Amazon River
- Steep 14% incline at discharge in Xingu
- Vast distance – routes spanning half the Earth’s circumference
- Difficult and complex Brazilian terrain
- Roads affected by cargo weight and size
Project Execution
deugro was awarded the project for executing the transportation of the project’s phase one, which encompasses two subsequent projects. The first project, UHE Belo Monte (hydro power plant), a consortium formed by the market leaders of this segment, includes the transportation of transformers and equipment (turbine rotor and turbine shaft) from Brazilian factories to the Belo Monte complex. The second project, High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC), likewise contains the transportation of transformers and equipment but from worldwide origins to two corresponding converter stations located in Xingu (state of Pará) and Estreito (state of Minas Gerais), Brazil.
