Time is money – rush that tubing……7 x 40’ flat racks

Total Austral’s Argentina office turned to Hansa Meyer JV partner Shipway S.A. when their Neuquén Basin operation urgently needed 3 ½” tubing to be sourced from Houston.  Shale gas exploration in the La Escalonada and Rincón de la Ceniza areas of Argentina has created a large demand for US oil and gas expertise and products.

We had three days to collect from supplier, deliver to local export packer, load the 40’ racks, secure, survey, inspect by NCB, and deliver to the ocean carrier to make the cut off.

Special handling instructions required the use padded forks, construction of pipe bolsters and guaranteed under deck stow.

Challenges:
Extreme time constraints and special cargo handling demands
