ABL to oversee marine transportation of Perdaman urea plant modules
Energy and marine consultancy ABL has been appointed as marine warranty surveyor (MWS) forthe marine transportation of modules to Perdaman Chemicals and Fertilisers Pty Ltd new urea plant on the Burrup Peninsula, Western Australia.
The facility on the Burrup Peninsula is located approximately 20km north-west of Karratha, Western Australia. Once the construction of the plant is completed, it will be the largest urea plant in Australia and one of the largest in the world.
Urea is a vital component of the agricultural fertiliser market with increasing demand as more efficient and intensive global food production is required to meet the needs of a growing world population.
The construction of the Perdaman Industries urea plant will be modular whereby the modules for the plant are built in India and shipped to Australia. In support of the construction, over 50 long-lead cargos will also be transported internationally.
ABL will conduct module transport document reviews, site attendance in India and Australia related to load-out, marine transportation, discharge and road transport to the plant site, plus conduct vessel surveys.
