Due to limited water depth at the module fabrication facility, the modules were loaded onto barges and transported to the RORO Vessels moored alongside at a deeper water facility a few miles away for direct transfer from barge to ship using SPMTs.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"3\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>APS furnace modules, fired heaters, and associated furnace ductwork were also fabricated in Thailand and transported by RORO Vessel to the Port of Beaumont. These items required road transport from the fabricator to the loading port, which was undertaken using SPMTs for the modules and larger ductwork items and heavy haul multi-wheel tractor trailers for the other items, and loadout used both SPMTs and mobile cranes.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"4\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Large reactors and fractionator towers (~80m long, 800 \u2013 900t) were shipped by HLVs from the manufacturers in South Korea to the Port of Beaumont.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"5\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Upon arrival at the Port of Beaumont, the modules, Furnaces Fired Heaters and larger items of ductwork were offloaded directly onto barges using SPMTs, whilst the Reactors, Distillation Columns and additional process towers were lifted to quayside and subsequently loaded onto barges using SPMTs. The barges were then towed from the Port to the refinery RORO Dock for offloading and moving to staging locations prior to final placement.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"6\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>In addition to the internationally procured items, there were nineteen (19) barge transports of equipment skids fabricated on the US Gulf Coast and transported via inland waterways to the RORO dock inside the refinery.
