Last week ALTIUS successfully completed shipment of the last three Transformers for the Ilo Project, each weighing 151 tons, from Ilo Port to final site at "Nodo Energético del Sur".

The three Transformers were transported on the vessel MV BBC Amber, together with the rest of break-bulk cargo, from Korea to Peru.

Our on-site team was faced with a strong groundswell that made it impossible for the vessel to be offloaded at first arrival.

Careful monitoring of weather conditions revealed a window of favourable sea conditions. The heavy equipment was then offloaded taking advantage of this window within one morning, despite the remaining swell.

All three Transformers were placed directly from the vessel onto conventional trailer trucks, to be transported by road to final Project site.

ALTIUS has recently carried out two consecutive discharge operations involving two shipments, from MV Abis Dunkerque and Mv Roma (ex-Mv Fairload), at Jazan's JEC jetty (Saudi Arabia), of a total of 11x Heat Exchangers shipped from Italy, weighing from 125 up to 210 tons of gross weight. All units were directly offloaded from ship to shore at the construction site jetty, to be immediately transported to the foundation at the project site location by a convoy of four conventional modular trailer trucks performing nonstop round trips to the final site, thus optimizing and speeding transport and delivery.

Altius is expanding its coverage in overland services and therefore preparing its vehicles for it. Pharma & Chemicals specialization in the overland service industry grows extremely rapidly driven by the excellence in its processes and commitment to the sector. All efforts made to seek GDP certification are giving positive results and we hope to remain a benchmark for all our customers in the future.
