As part of a project carried out for Technip, the contractor for the Grupy LOTOS installation, DHL Global Forwarding delivered items including columns, tanks, and heat exchangers with a total weight of nearly 1,600 tons. Individual components were transported to Poland from ten countries around the world on board five vessels chartered specifically for this purpose. Due to the dimensions of the installation’s components, the project was full of challenges. The largest element was 46 meters long and weighed 172 tons gross. Furthermore, the entire operation concluded with the placement of a 146-ton component onto a specially prepared foundation.
– As part of the project for Technip and Grupy LOTOS, DHL Global Forwarding was responsible for the full coordination of deliveries from manufacturers to the construction site at the refinery. The project required not only the highest logistical and organizational skills but also full flexibility in responding to external factors that arose during the execution of this demanding task. – said Piotr Iwaniuk, CEO of DHL Global Forwarding. – We are pleased that the work of a team of experienced experts from our Industrial Projects Department allowed this complex project to be completed according to the adopted schedule.
